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

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

[Attachment(s) from Sharon included below] 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.

Sharon,

German is my first language-

yes, Mertz is March. Germans always put the date in front of the month...like today is 15 December instead of December 15th.

Hier ruhet means here rests.
