Luneburg Archive Find Led to Uelzen Archive Find - TALG Family, Translation help - Please
A major brick wall has been slowly crumbling in recent months, thanks to help from this community of researchers. First, thank you so much for helping me meet my mother's "missing" paternal line. Secondly, thank you for enabling me to fully read the found documents.
I would greatly appreciate help translating the marriage document of my great-grandparents, Heinrich Christoph Talg/Talch & Margaretha Dorothea Elisabeth Talg, and the birth records of their two oldest sons, Heinrich Christian & Heinrich Christoph Karl.
There is a lot written in the margins; the marriage record mentions her death in 1950. I can't make out what is on birth records of the sons; perhaps, it speaks of their deaths. Thanks for any assistance with all this.
Sincerely, Leah

Hi Leah, the images don't load. Can you try again? Maybe better split up for each person.

Ulrich,
Hard to understand technology, sometimes --- why/when it does or does not work! You, however, have been very helpful once again.
A couple of questions about German words I am trying to make out on the marriage document. I try to figure them out, but am still not very confident. In #1, could you write the German word in the blanks I've left?
der _________________ Heinrich . . . and then further down: sohn der __________ ____________ Jurgen . . . und ______
ehefrau (I think) Catharina . . .
Then in #2: die _____________ Margarethe . . . (Is the word, dienstmagd?)
Thank you. I really am trying to get better at figuring out this old German script, but some days I am very frustrated with it.
