Hi: I have a wonderful manual called: "If I Can, You Can Decipher Germanic Records" by Edna M. Bentz. I believe I bought it for $16.50 from Frontier Press bookstore online....so here is the link: http://www.frontierpress.com/frontier.cgi....... In this book, Edna actually writes the words in old script and then translates---great self-published type of book! She even has Latin and Danish in it, too. Regards, Melissa (customer only; no interest in this bookstore)
