Hi,
Is is possible to get a printed transcript of this interview? I’d like to send it to my uncle who is a big Charles Schulz fan but who is also computer-phobic
Thanks.

Dear Mr. Michaelis,
My maiden name was Cecelia Michaelis with family that originally came from Germany and then resided on a farm in Kingston, New York. Over the years I have not seen too many “is” endings, just”s”. Was wondering if perhaps your grandfather came from Germany and had any relatives in the New York area.
Thank you.
