German Records
I have several pages of German Records that I don't want to throw away, but I'm hoping to be able to mail them to someone to add to family search. I do not read or speak German.

@LauraMorleyJensen1 we are so glad you have joined our community - It is a great place to get help and to help others! We have a lot of talented, experienced participants here.
Be sure to review the links at the top of our community page for some great resources - we add new ones as we find them.
We look forward to hearing from you. Most of the time, it is best to "ask a question" - do this by selecting the arrow to the right of "new discussion". Asking a question allows you to accept the answer or let us know you would like more help. (I was able to change this post to a question for you.)
This reply to you will show as a rejected answer - I mark it this way so that your post will still show as a question and not show as answered because my reply does not answer your question, it just offers you some ideas.
***Thanks for being patient as we wait for a response to come from a volunteer with the needed skill set. Several Family History Library workers are part of our group - they should be able to tell us how you can find a home for those records.
We look forward to your comments and questions.
Enjoy today! Cindy Jarvis

@LauraMorleyJensen1, do you know who the German records you have are about? If you do, you can scan the images and add them as sources to that person's FamilySearch Tree page. You are also welcome to post an image at a time in this Germany Community group to ask for translation help.

I think they list names of people in family groups. I cannot attach them.

Before you throw them away, consider doing a 20 minute free online consultation. Ideally, you would upload these and we can tell you what they are. Here's the link to set up an appointment, just have those papers ready. And maybe we can provide some suggestions on how to get the scanned. You could also use your phone to take picture of them, and upload them to your computer.
