Wolf: I think I had better start with proofreading passenger lists. After
doing some proofreading, I might be able to "graduate" to transcribing
passenger lists. Let me know if this would be helpful. Cal

Hi Cal,

thanks a lot for responding to my "cry" for HELP.
It will be quite helpful to have at least a little German knowledge,
but it is not necessary.

I'm glad for any help I can get and it is pretty well up to you to decide
what you like to do most..
The simplest thing would be transcribing passengerlists, where
you just write down what you see ,or you can do some proofreading
with already transcribed lists..

Another thing would we just to type printed text, sometimes in German and/or
English..

Or helping with organizing things... or helping with Excel sheets.. or
databases...

Well, this could be an endless list..

Please let me know what you can and want to do, it will be very much
appreciated..

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice weekend,

Wolf
