The Consultant

On Sunday we had one of our many lunches with the relatives. Peter and Ilse hosted us this day. Great food…….. good conversation.

As Peter is 75 and was schooled in some of the old German writing we asked him to help us read some of the records we collected. All records are kept in church books in old german handwriting.

This script was not used after Hitler took powere (~1940) and legeslated against the use of it. Ilse brought out some script sheets and Peter tried to read….unfortunately not much luck. Then he suggested that his sister, whom we had not met as yet and is 80 or so and had a few extra years of experience with the scripts. She agreed to try and was really amazing. She helped to read a great number of records.

I think we found our Consultant!
