Short answer - yes (I am not the only one!).

Are you able to post parts of the record here as a starter, one needs to see not just little clips because the context is important but ideally each whole page even if it comes in bits.

Have a look at the advice here:

If that doesn't help, try photographing/scanning just half or a third of the page.  Otherwise there are ways - I'll send you a Personal Message.
