    1. [TGF] Help translating short news article in German
    2. Cynthia Swope via
    3. If there is anyone on this list who speaks German, I would be greatly indebted for the translation. It's found at http://www.newspapers.com/clip/1592996/gettysburg_27_august_a_ghost_a/ I can send it's scan to anyone who might be able to help unable to access the scan in the link above. This is clearly talking about my gg grandfather, as his name is evident and words ' apprenticeship ' 'saddletree maker' came out in English when i treied to enter the entire thing into Google Translate (as I read the letters-and clearly I'm not doing that right). I got some of it to translate but I can't make out all the script and there is no real understanding I gained from that exercies of what exactly it's saying! The place, Gettysburg, the date are clear on their on and from Google Translate I understand the article's title as "Gettysburg, 27 August. A Ghost! A Ghost!' You can understand how tantalized I am. Can some kind spirit (pun intended) help? Cynthia
