                                      An apology and a thank you to Elzbieta! &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_redface.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Embarassed&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elzbieta, please accept my humble apologies for thanking you so very belatedly for answering my question about Sutterlin!  I have two of my grandchildren living nearby (ages 4 and baby turning one year old this weekend) and daughter calls &amp;quot;1-800-BABCI&amp;quot;  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_lol.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Laughing&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; on a very frequent basis.  With Triduum and being in church a great deal the past week, I am not logging in to the forum as often as I would like!  Please keep up your helpful, wonderful work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God bless you, and kindest regards,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While searching on BASIA, I located a scan of the registration of my great grandfather's (Michael Szuwala) death.  I don't need the whole thing translated, but could someone who can read the Sutterlin script, and can translate German, help me please? I know some of the information, but not all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the link:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What I would like to know is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Date of his birth&lt;br /&gt;
Date of his death&lt;br /&gt;
Cause of his death (if it is mentioned)&lt;br /&gt;
His mother's (Catharina) maiden name (if mentioned)&lt;br /&gt;
If both of his parents are deceased.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks very very much!&lt;br /&gt;
