Native French Speaker Needed for Minor Translation Posted by EGD [Email] (#663) [Profile/Gallery] (more from EGD) on Fri, 3 Jun 2011 09:12:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Six years of French and all I can do is point at the menu, etc.
My sister is researching family ancestry records from Quebec from the 1700s and, even though I can usually help her out, this phrase confuses me:
'...lesquels ainsi qui le père ont déclaré ni savoir signer.'
I don't have the text prior to that phrase (so it's a bit harder to figure the whole thing out) but I'm assuming it's something like, '...which as well as the father stated nor know(ingly) signed.'
It's completely awkward and essentially a literal translation so it makes little sense. Anyway, it's been almost 30 years since my last French lesson so 'Aidez-moi, s'il vous plait!'
