What a wonderful surprise! The envelope must have been exciting to discover. You have uncovered a veritable treasure trove and I am extremely grateful.

I have received your translation and was thrilled and pleased by the contents.

This is fantastic so far – I’m very pleased with this – I had struggled so long with the ... issue that this side of the family has been left untouched, so its really good to get a 2nd opinion..., and to then open up this family line

I cannot thank you enough for this amazing volume.  I am strangely moved, even though it is not my immediate family.  I cannot thank you enough for your efforts so far, both in research and in presentation of the results

Wow pls carry on!
