Robert, You are tireless, precise and often have wisdom that brings light to these documents! Bless and keep you, Kent

Thank you, Kent, for the thoughtful message.
I find the process of translation very interesting. When I first began translating, I precisely followed German word order and sentence construction which often made the translation convulted and difficult to understand. Now, rather than a word-by-word approach, I look at the entire phrase or sentence and rearrange subjects and verbs so the translation is more undestandable to the English reader.

Robert, Whatever magic you are using it works.You have single handedly added a whole new dimension to my life. I love finding out little details - like the couple who died one night 5 hours apart. My wife thought they both died of the same disease. I think Johannes Hager died at 10:00 in the evening and his distraught wife died five hours later from a broken heart.
I enjoy seeing their occupations. It is sad to hear the loss of the little ones. We are spoiled with the riches of modern life. I like to say even the most modest among us live better than the Kings and Queens of Europe. It is certainly an interesting time to live. MrG

I like your romantic thoughts on the husband and wife who died within 5 hours of each other BUT I tend to agree with your wife that they probably were both ill with the same sickness and died from that.
Yes, the occupations and when provided the causes of death add more personal dimensions to the family members.

If I ever forget to give you a "like", put it down to my single minded-over focus on FH. As you know I like everything you do.
