Translation of German documents and documents in old German script

It is possible that some of your German documents are written in old German script. This script, also called Suetterlin was often used in Germany up until the 1940's. There are few people in Germany able to read this type of script and it would pose an enormous hurdle for someone whose mother tongue is not German.

Are the old letters and diaries of your ancestors still in old German script because you were unable to translate them? What a shame it would be if these treasures remained unread in a box in the attic. A majority of the old church documents found on microfiche are written in old German. If you have already tried to translate these documents, you will probably have found many words and sayings no longer in use.

I can translate documents starting around the 18th century. I will not only translate the documents into English, but I will also give you a detailed description of words no longer in use and their meaning. Price and Contact
