I have quite a few, written around 1860-1870, but I am told that they are in "old" or "low" German which, it would seem, is entirely different from today's German. I do have the letters scanned, but I don't have a web site to post them on (nor do I know about how to do create a website!), but I could email or snail mail them to anyone who might be able to help. If anyone has any good ideas for translating Old German, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks so much. Gini
