To Cindy Norris:
Try a larger university, with a humanities department and German literature
specialist; you will need someone who for example translates Goethe from the
original text.  The German language underwent many changes in script,
alphabet and style over the centuries, so you need someone who can first
translate it into more modern German.  It shouldn't be terribly difficult,
for someone familiar with the historic styles. I once had an immigrant
pamphlet translated from old German.

  Subject: 1826 German Bible


  A museum patron has come into our museum(Historic Upshur Museum) with a
german bible copyrighted in 1826.
  He has taken this bible to the two colleges over at Tyler, Texas and no
one has been able to translate this bible.
  Anyone out there know who or where he might get help with this?
  Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
