    Great video! Because you have linked directly to an mp4 file on Microsoft OneDrive - there is no option to 'Like' the video - you would need to upload to a social channel that has that option if you would like that feedback (YouTube, Facebook, etc) or people can just 'Like' your post here.

    @genthusiast Thanks for the feedback. I plan to start a YouTube channel with the series of videos mentioned in this video. First, I thought I'd solicit some feedback to ensure I am on a helpful track.

    Are you videos closed captioned? If not that would be an awesome feature for the hearing impaired and dyslexic folks like me!

    The video is not currently captioned. However, once I establish a YouTube channel, YouTube captioning will be available. Did you watch the video? Did it help you?

    The video is very interesting. Thanks for sharing it. I have not indexed German records but I have some old family documents which I have struggled to read. I took a picture on my phone of one that was written in about 1900. One day I was in dentist's chair waiting for him to arrive. He's a young man who grew up in Germany. I had the photo open on my phone and showed it to him. He took a look and quite easily interpreted it for me! Your dentist can help you with family history!


    Your video has given me some clues to help decipher my old family documents....when the dentist is not around!
