[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Old German Reading and Translation

[Manfred Hensel]

Larry,
yes I do agree with one exception.
I do not explicitly see Mrs. Elisabeth Roesler as the wife of Johan 
Fuhrman even it could be,
the text only says that beside the ash of Johan Fuhrman also the ash of 
Mrs. Roesler should be honored
but the additional remark about _their_ great-grandson could be taken as 
a hint that they have been a couple.

By the way... in old-german text often you will often find words, names 
with double "nn" or "mm"  like e.g. Friederick Sommer
written with one "m" (or "n") with an additional line or dash over the 
letter "m", like "Somer" (my keyboard has not such a dash).
Therefore I  would suppose "Johann Fuhrmann" was the original meaning.
I do not know why it is this manner.

Manfred
