Hi, Elizabeth and Karen. One thing needs to be clarified in your message. Yes, Transcribe Group does transcriptions of the old German text and translations of those same transcriptions. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide translations of printed text. Elizabeth is correct about other groups that do provide translations. Links may be found, also, by going through Cyndi's list at > http://www.cyndislist.com/ < or Don Watson's site at > http://members.cox.net/hessen/index2.htm < Good luck with your research!
