OK, one more try. What do I do once I get to this page? (see attached GIF)
Thank you!

Sorry Kristen, you loose again--no attachments on this list. Attachments can contain nasty executable code and such code is not wanted on the List.
Why not get together with someone off List and have them walk you through step by step. Many people on the List have "Windows", so you can have AIDA in one window, and your e-mail in another window. With a short delay, you can almost "talk" to each other.
Sorry, I don't read or write German. I will take a look at AIDA, as I rermember, I was able to get through it in a limited fashion.

Thank you Gale! I do have a friend who speaks fluent German, but I'm just an impatient soul 
Anyways, if anyone has time to help off list, I would really appreciate it.
Danke,
Kristen

Kristen, this may help. Google "izn-AIDA". You will get the following. Click on the part "Translate this page"
izn-AIDA online - � Informatikzentrum Niedersachsen- [ Translate this page
Unfortunately, it is currently down for maintenance.

Thanks again Gale...I know I've tried that before, but there are two problems: online translations are really difficult to decipher because of their literal nature; and on AIDA, if you click onto another page from the translated page, it goes back to German. I think it has to do with the frames on the site.

Hello Kristen,
AIDA is not hard to work with - when it's working! It is obviously
down once again. That may explain some of your problems.
Go here: http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/
On that very page is a little blank box. Enter a surname for example
(and possibly the given name if the surname is a common name) and click on
the little box to the right. Perhaps you are searching for an event, a town
or some such. You can search with different kinds of data. When you get
results, click on each one that fits what you are looking for. Sometimes
there are quite a few results. Below that you will see the numbers where it
may something like 1-13. Look at every one. Click it if you want more
information. There may be more sets from the original search name--look at
each one. (some may be by title, some with the word that is included in the
data, etc.) Scroll down to the end to see that you have seen everything.
I've looked there and often find nothing. Sometimes there is a tremendous
amount. You can copy and paste to an online translator. Or copy and paste
it in a message on this mailing list (Hannover-L) and ask for a translation.
You'll get help that way.
I'm writing out this stuff from memory. The AIDA website is down and I
could have missed something in these directions.
