Restoring Baptismal Certificate

I had my mothers baptismal record from 1907, which was in pretty bad shape, and after many hours, have a presentable copy. The tears had been taped with "original" Scotch Tape, which had dried out and fallen off, leaving the residue. In her late 80's, she decided to write on the original, which I left on the restoration. Much of the copy is in Danish, so if anyone can give me a translation, I would appreciate it.

Wayne,

Who would believe it is the same certificate - well done. Why not try a Google search regarding the translation.

Karen

Wow Wayne ...

That is a great restoration ... it must have taken you ages to do.

Just wish that I could help with the translation ... if no one else can then why not try Babel Fish some of the translation can be a little strange but it may help you

I don't know how she does it, but once again she has laid her mouse onto a page that just might be the one thing to help with a translation. Who woulda thought there was such a site???

Big wow! That turned out just super. Hard to believe what one can accomplish with PSE! Let me think if I have any Danes I can ask to translate...have you tried posting on a newsgroup? For example, http://groups.google.com/group/dk.hi.../topics?lnk=sg or http://groups.google.com/group/dk.vi...topics?lnk=sg?
