Translations

FHGC translators are able to translate most Danish letters and documents, including those in old Gothic handwriting or print, as well as Danish church and census records; and can make referrals for translations of both modern and Gothic German-language documents.

Translation Fees:

• $30 per hour for members of The Danish Immigrant Museum.
• $40 per hour for non-members

        A postage/handling fee will be added to all requests

To Request a Translation:

• Send or email a clear copy of the material to be translated, rather than the originals.  The Danish Immigrant Museum cannot be responsible for original documents.
• Print and fill out the Translation Request Form.
• Include a check or money order for a minimum of 1-hour's work, payable to "The Danish Immigrant Museum"
• Completion time is usually 1-4 weeks
• For longer documents we will be happy to give you an estimate of the time involved.
