German translation??? Help please!

[Guest guest]

I have found a photo of a gravestone I believe is that of my fourth great grandmother, Waltman. It's in German and I have tried two different translators online with no luck. I believe the spelling of some of the words is not correct on the gravestone so it doesn't translate correctly. Does anyone here speak German? I only know a few words in German. Here is the wording from the stone and I'm also attaching a photo of the gravestone.

WALTMAN, b. 1708, d. 1786 HIER RUHET

MARIKATARIN WALTMENINGE BOHREN 1708 BESTORBEN 1786 D 25 MERTZ

Thanks Dan. I didn't know you speak German! So Mertz is March? I wonder why the two translators (google and babelfish) didn't tell me that. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Well, March is "Marz" in German. But, I think "Mertz" is supposed to be a spelling of "Marz."Dan U dao_nguu@...

I just emailed it to my cousin - he is still fluent in Polish and German - I will bug him when he gets to his office

always bugged him I understood more but still spoke baby German - always amused my FIL

Dan nailed it God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

I think Marz is the one used - like one is low german and one is high German - you think conjugating in English is hard - try it in another language God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.
