Translate Family Letters

September 1, 2022 in Dansk – Danish

I have two family letters, written in Danish, dated late 1800/early 1900 that were passed down to me.

Along with these letters were some English translations. However, when looking at the original letters, it is apparent that a few paragraphs from the originals were not translated, or that sentences were missing from the original Danish. In one letter, even though I don't understand the language, I can see several names written that don't appear in the English translations at all.

Since these letters hold details I need to continue my family history research, I was hoping someone would be willing to look at these letters and translate them fully.

There are six images in total for the two letters, one of which is a photocopy of the envelope.

If anyone is willing, please message me and I can email you the images of the letters.

    May I suggest you try typing up the Danish as it is written, and feed it into Google Translate? That will at least give you the gist. You can then have translated just the portions that require accurate translation.

    Send me an email: britta.hansen12@gmail.com

    Forward the text already transcribed and translated, the images + relevant data on the persons (names d.o.b. etc.) in a word or pdf document.

    You could link to your tree in this database.

    Kind regards,
