First, how long does it take to get copies of certificates? I am interested. Can you get certificates from any parish through this address? Abzehrung is German for emanciation. Des also came up German meaning "of the". I couldn't get an interpretation of the other word. I tried Croation, Serb, etc. It may be a form of the Austrian-Hungarian language. If I figure it out I will let you know. Mary >From: [email protected] (Phyllis J.
