Where/whom can I turn to for translation of Estonian records please?
From FamilySearch, I have sourced Inhabitants records: Liefland. Naturalization Aplications 1920-1940 that may be relevant to my Family history, though I would require translation of some records that are written in Estonian.

Hi!
You can use sources like Google translate and the Estonian Genealogical Word List (https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Estonian_Genealogical_Word_List) to help you read the documents.
If you prefer to have someone do a translation for you, you could try this Estonian Genealogy facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/983958195025267/
If you aren't a Facebook user, there is also this forum hosted by the Estonian Biographical Center: https://www.isik.ee/foorum/. I haven't used this before, but is recommended as a place to get research and translation help on the Estonian Archive website, so I'm sure it is a good place. Hope this helps!
