This was one of the more difficult transcription pieces I have done. It is written in the old Kurrentschrift, a nightmare script that was eventually outlawed by Hitler. It is no longer used and is a bit of a pain to learn to read, especially if you don't know German (like me- I only know English and can get by in Spanish). I might make a post later about how I learned to read it. It was not a very fast process and I still have difficulty depending on who wrote the document.
Anyways, this transcription features my 4th great grandpa Albrecht Kruszynski. Albrecht was born in about 1801 (probably in Poland), and died in Wielki Klincz, Poland (spelled in the document as Groß Klintz) on the 20th of June 1869.
