German Old Script
« on: Sunday 04 June 17 04:34 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am having trouble reading the cause of death. Herz.... and Wassersucht, which means heart ... and dropsy. Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

I think it reads Herzfehler = heart failure. But a better German-reader than me will probably be along soon.

Hi Bookbox,
You know I think you could be right. I was thinking it was a word with sch..., but it could well be an f.
Thanks,
