Kees -
No such luck due to many competing needs for my time. But I will say I got myself organized with the originals and that was a much needed first step.
For years I have taught courses on German genealogy and unfortunately I still have not mastered the art of interpreting German handwriting. Printed works, yes that is much much easier than the hand writting. Sometimes I get lucky with it. We shall see.
As to Bavaria, Bayern, I always use the comparison that it is to Germany what Texas is to the United States. Which if you are from Texas, everyone knows it shortly after meeting you and Texas is unique within the nation. If that needs further explanation just let me know!
It's a neat card because it is an identifiable balloon regiment. Looking after a few others on ebay, but we'll see if I end up with any.
