Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: German death cert from 1907
« on: Sunday 30 November 25 12:08 GMT (UK) »
Zefiro, you are a star! 
Thank you so much! That has really helped me. Even though I am extremely embarrassed about not seeing "Witwe" as the word following the two women's names..!
When you know what it is, it is obvious! 
My brother has re-started researching his wife's family. Up until recently, there had been a virtual brick wall behind the immediate family, but thanks to DNA-testing and the expansion of Ancestry's database, he has made progress.
The only thing is - if his findings are correct - the research has taken a surprising turn, and this branch of the tree would appear to belong to an unexpected species.
The result of all this is that I may well be looking at more old German certificates in the coming weeks.
As for woofer, he is, I am glad to say, still with us.
Ali turned 14 recently - a milestone that we had not dared to hope he would achieve, given his start in life and his horrendous injuries.
He is now very slow and very wobbly, but still enjoying life. He still has the occasional mad five minutes in which he throws his toys around the living room and acts the clown, my gorgeous baby.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Thanks again, and have a lovely Sunday.
