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.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Have a look at the advice here:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,130922.0.html

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.
