Does anyone on the forum read arabic? I recently came across some documents that belonged to my grandmother in a box of her old papers. She was born and grew up in Egypt, and a few of the government issued documents in her papers are in Arabic, but I can't read them. If you can, please send me an e-mail... Thanks. | ||

Frenchman, I am already on the case, however if I run into a hitch do I have permission to contact you? | ||

Thanks for the offer Frenchman. D_Stylin has copies of the papers, if he gets jammed up, I'm sure he'll contact you. Here's the Syrian side in Venice c. 1923  The man on the left is my great-great grandfather's brother, who was fired from the war office in Cairo by Lord Kitchener for telling him off. My grandmother is the older of the two girls. (Message edited by aiw on November 09, 2006) | ||
