Title: Help with translating old German into English
Post by: billr2e on Thursday 06 August 15 19:38 BST (UK)

I have an old family tree.  Some of the words I can recognise but most of it is impossible for me to translate.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Svenja,

That has been so helpful.  I have German cousins, but they too cannot read the old script.

I have more of the family tree.  If I post them here, would you translate those for me as well, please?
