Letters from Austria
« on: Sunday 23 March 14 04:20 GMT (UK) »
I have letters written in the early 1900's from family members in Austria.  They are written in a very formal flowery script and I believe the language is German, but I am not certain. 
Do you know how these can be translated?  I believe they hold a very important part of my family history. 
Thank you!

There are a good number of people on RC who can do this. If it's Austria, it's likely to be German. I struggle with the script but can do the translation; I know others are much better than me at the script. I suggest you scan one sample and post it on RC... we will see what we can do for you!
