Hi Bette There is Translation program online that you could use you just have to type it in english and then it will translate it for you in German. Cindy

Hi Cindy, Thanks for the information. The AOL translator website is very similar to the 'Google' translation feature; the one that I use regularly. However, the real point of my query was how do I obtain access to the information that the poster has chosen not to release for public consumption. Strange, it seems to me, that he (Ralf) would even place the entry on the Internet database http://gedbas.genealogy.net if he (Ralf Kossan >> ralf@kossan.de) was unwilling to release the data relating to Johann Friedrich Wilhelm SCHWANDT. Since the full name posted to the database is identical to the person of my focus I feel driven to leave no boulder unturned in the chance that Ralf's SCHWANDT and mine are one and the same individual.
