There is a German translation group at Yahoo. You can join via links at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~deutg/ You can joing the transcribe group via links at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~deutg/ You have to join these groups to use the service. Documents sent for transcription / translation are kept on their servers but I don't know if there is a big archive of them. Join and surf the websites of both groups to see what documents are there and if the translations are also there. The samples may help your own research. Karen
