Translating English to German - need help
I am trying to contact a church in Germany and would assistance in translating my English letter into German. Here is what I need translated.
Many Greetings,
I am trying to locate information on my ancestor Johann (Christian) Weiss. I believe he was born in 1849/1850 in Katzenstein. Do you have records for this area and can you tell me how I can access them. I live in the United States and will not be able to travel anytime soon. I can be reached at maxandkim@comcast.net.
Kind Regards,
Kim Houtz

Hello Kim, please find below the translation of your letter:
Guten Tag!
Ich bin auf der Suche nach Informationen über meinen Vorfahren Johann (Christian) Weiss. So weit ich weiss, wurde er 1849/1850 in Katzenstein geboren. Sind bei Ihnen Kirchenbücher für diesen Ort vorhanden? Können Sie mir mitteilen, wo und wie ich sie einsehen kann? Ich lebe in den USA und werde in der nächsten Zeit nicht reisen können. Meine E-mail Adresse ist maxandkim@comcast.net.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Kim Houtz
Do you know that there is also a How-to-Guide for this problem on the FS website?

@kimhoutz1 We are so glad you have joined our German community - It is a great place to get help and to help others! We have a lot of talented, experienced participants here.
Most of the time, it is best to use "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.)
Be sure to review the links at the top of our community page for some great resources. We look forward to hearing from you. We are so glad you are part of this great community!
Thanks for being patient as we sometimes must wait for a response to come from a volunteer with the needed skill set. It is always good if you include the identification number of the person in question in Family Search Family Tree so we can see the bigger picture.
We look forward to your comments and questions.
Enjoy today! Cindy Jarvis
