Help with French
« on: Monday 08 June 09 19:11 UTC (UK) »
I have a post here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,384876.0.html
if any French speakers would care to have a stab. I don't know if this is Law French, Norman French or any other variety of old French so am really lost - some of the contractions seem baffling.
Any help appreciated!

I'm a french speaker but I have trouble to understand ... seems to be middle age french (Ancient Français) .. therefore largely mixed with latin

Will show the document to a friend (if she is not in vacation for the moment)
