Nelda etal,
Looks like I was not on the right track...perhaps a little German is a
dangerous thing also! Anyway, Armin is apparently willing to help with
Hachenberger research, but needs communication in German, and Cousin Craig
has offered his son's services to intervene. Perhaps the correct connection
has been made.

As an alternative, here is the link for the translation service;
http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/wiki/Transserv

One just has to follow a few simple rules of syntax and message length to
get it to work. My attempt was unsuccessful because the archive record had
too many lines(more than forty is a no-no). Since I made a wrong assumption
about what was required, I'm not going to pursue this any further.

Bill
