Thanks for the info Maria. You've been such a big help. I want you to know that I did look at the script.byu.edu site for the Russian tutorial. I'm determined to learn how to read these Russian documents, but it's like learning to read all over again; starting with the ABC's. It's going to take some time, so please bear with me until then.

Please also consider the following sites if you have not done it:
typeitRussian - to transliterate written words to typed ones, then it is easier to put them into GoogleTranslate Russian to English
familysearch.org - Search - Research Wiki - Howto - Russian Word list. There used to be samples of Russian to English translations which are often standard, maybe you can find them there or in script.byu.edu
You are doing great! Glad to help you.

Maria,
Have made it through the alphabet currently used, and am now working on the old russian characters that will appear in these documents. Almost there, and then I'll be making use of all these valuable web sites. Can't thank you enough for your input and your motivating words.
Take care
