Dear Shannon,

This is really difficult. Most German's today cannot read the old script. Character recognition on computers is far from good even in English.

I still have dozens of letters in early German script. Sometimes I find a researcher in this area and get a translation.

When I researched in Germany/Austria I found I couldn't even figure out the letter much less the word. I hired an professional who was well worth the money. I had four years of college German.

It will probably cost a lot of money. Sorry about that.

Good luck!
