<p>[QUOTE="dcfirebottle, post: 327540, member: 6388"]The postcard came from an old family bible of mine, dated 1840. It is written completely in German. I believe that is either my great grandmother or my great great grandmother who wrote the postcard, not sure which. They both spoke English and German, and able to write in both as well, according to my mother. Here is the other side of the postcard...I believe she was writing to someone named Geo Quien in Bethel CT. (It's just outside of Danbury) which is where some of my relatives lived back then.
