Hi,
I have been sent a scanned image of the birth registration of my grt grandmother, Margaretha Barbara Schumann (known as Margaret Babette Schumann after she came to the uk).
I can translate most of the typed elements, but the handwritten script is not so easy. Can anyone help with this?
The file is too large for the forum but I could email it?
Many thanks
