Realize that Google Translate needs to improve at times. Also - though not the exact situation here - you should always "re-translate" anything you hope you are putting into a language other than English using Google Translate. For instance, Google translated "family ties" into French for me as something that the re-translation would have shown meant "Family neckties" , That is - Google used "cravatte" the French for necktie, not "lien" the French for tie. (I happened to know "cravatte" since I speak a little French, and I knew "lien" is usually link or chain but I guess it could be "tie" - This was my lesson that I should always re-translate.)

My husband is Dutch (became a U.S. citizen) and could easily translate for you. If you would like to scan the page(s) I will type out the translation in a reply to you. My email address is cathyjaspers@gmail.com.

Good Morning, I think you can go online and get a translation app.

I can read Dutch but I'm not an expert at it. My parents spoke Dutch to me all my life but I never learned to read or write it since we moved to the US before I was in first grade. If you can't translate it any other way, I'm willing to give it a shot. I can probably translate most of it and have a good Dutch-English dictionary for some unknown words. Unfortunately, I'll be away from The Villages until April 18 but let me know if you'd like me to try after that. Janneke Nauta Bogyo, Village of Piedmont

I lived in Holland as a youth. So my Dutch is pretty rusty. But I can probably give you a good idea what she wrote. Email me at tjohnhall@gmail.com
