Margaret; thank you! He is my cousins direct ancestor; she is a descendant of his son (who carried the exact name and died only a few years after his father). I'm "struggling" to keep everything straight between them; since they had the same name. It would be nice to have a full translation; but it's not really necessary - if I could obtain the main details; that woudl be fine for now. I can get the rest at a later date. I was just fascinated with it when I found it. I knew it had to be important when I realized it took up the entire page. Again thanks - I will let Nadine (and her 90 year father) know about this. Lee
