Disclaimer: I am not a translator by profession, nor am I trained in translation studies. I suggest for large and serious projects that individuals search for (and pay) a certified translator when possible.
HOWEVER, I know that it can be difficult to find individuals who are familiar with certain languages (such as Western Armenian), have experience in genealogy, and can read handwriting. For this reason, if you are at a dead-end (particularly with old letters, postcards, other genealogical documents) and want to know what you're looking at, you can contact me.
