William, that will definitely lend your condolence letters some real flair & flamboyance!

I might nick that for my next condolence letter!

Thank you, Ronald! This cleaned up nicely.

After OCR, Google translate says:

          Monsieur Baron Charles de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, Monsieur Baron Auguste de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, Madame Baroness Auguste de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, née Viscountess Isebrandt de Leudouch, Mademoiselle Baroness Victoire de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick and Mademoiselle Baroness Eugenie de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, have the pain to share with you the significant loss they have just experienced in the person of their cousin:

 Mademoiselle Séraphine-Thérèse-Ghislaine Douglas dit Schott

 deceased in Malines on April 9, 1850, at the age of 70 years, after a short illness, provided with the Sacraments of our Mother the Holy Church.

 The perfect resignation to the will of God, her eminent virtues and her great Christian charity, make us hope that she enjoys the happiness of the just, but the decrees of the Almighty being inscrutable, they recommend her soul to your pious prayers.

 Malines on April 15, 1850.

 No answer.

--------

Best regards

Upon review this translation is not 100% accurate, but it is decent & should suffice.

Interesting! That will be some pot of Douglas goulash!

An attempt? I'm guessing you mean an article beyond the link provided?

I did translate this page but seem to be experiencing some technical difficulty in delivering it.

Edit by WHSD
Yes, I did want to take the story further.  How did they come by the name Douglas? And a working translation of the non-English content.
Meantime, in amongst other tasks, I am working a French/Russian/Austrian Douglas family, which seems to have migrated to the USA!

I had an attempt at working up an article for this family a couple of years ago:
https://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/families/Douglas_Schott.html 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
