I had no luck translating some letters from this period until i found out that the old script was called “suetterlinschrift.” Go to http://www.suetterlinschirft.de/Engisch/Tips_and_tricks.htm for the best help I’ve found, but it’s still slow going with Google translate. Good luck! PF

I have one that I was trying to translate. Now that I know what the roster heading are in English, all I need is someone to transcribe the handwritten information so I can figure out the family and parents information. It’s not very legible and I’m not familiar with recognizing German names.

Thanks.

I’m definitely going to keep this series of posts handy as I research my German relatives.

Thanks so much for the translations – very helpful. I’m interested in seeing what you come up with for the transcriptions – I’m just becoming competent at translations from English.
