Guten Tag, It's a great summer day here in PA for late fall. Usually we have snow by now. Several months ago I got a copy of the will of one Henry Kegel probated in Northampton CO, PA in 1789. Since that time I have tried several avenues to get it translated. I sent it to my old German professor in college and he was unable to decipher much of it and suggested I send it to Germany to be translated. Well I used some connections and sent it through my wifes company to the German sales rep. He tried and showed it to his grandmother and neither one of them could make it out. It seems that it is done in an old style of german that they cannot read. He was going to try a German University language department. To make a long story short, it isn't translated yet...so I have posted a copy of the first page on the web. If any of you would like to take a shot at it, please do so. IF you have any success, let me know and I'll send along the other pages. The URL is http://www.angelfire.com/pa/civilwarcagle/images/will.jpg Aufwiedersehen! Tom Cagle Saegertown, PA
