WOW! Thank all you listers who responded to my question. I was so pleased with the reponse and information. I am especially grateful to Gabriella for offering to translate my letter. I also appreciate the address of other translation services, I will keep them in mind, especially when I seek information on the Prussian (now Poland) side of the family. I feel very encouraged in my efforts to find more about my great grandmother. Thank you all very much. Jan
