Hello Lynn, Thank you for clarification of your services. Karen, There is also a father and son team in Germany that may also be of some assistance. They offer a free service, check out their webpage at http://www.tranquility.net/~pwrigh01/ There are also members of the Sütterlin-Schreibstube in Germany that offer translation services of letters, diaries and other documents. This maybe of interest to others on the list that may need older documents transcribed or translated. It is "The Centre for the Aged Support Association" in Ansgar, Germany. A donation for services is welcomed, check out their homepage: http://www.suetterlinstube.de Great information on downloading German fonts etc at www.genealogienetz.de/misc/scripts.html The above sites should help all researchers with their translation problems.
