This sound familiar? Just when you think you've got a handle on the sources you find another folder in the archives that seems to be a duplicate of one you've already read...but, dear reader, it bloody well isn't. So that's 250+ folders, each with 3-30 pages I have to read to find the new stuff.

There are times when a mixture of a German dictionary, a bit of transcription software, German speaking friends and what little fluency I have gained will help me translate the most challenging document. This is not one of those times.

Hey history types. Can anyone on here recommend any sources on the mid-late C19 Swiss class system - especially relating to the military. I think my biography subject is facing class prejudice but since I don't know the structures it's hard to tell.
