Hello, I am stuck on a German word written on my GGGrandfather's Birth Record in 1826. As a baby, he was vaccinated with "Kuhblattern"... I believe this was a smallpox vaccination. I know that cowpox may be related to the innoculation against smallpox, hence the word "Kuh"... the good news was that he was found well about 8 months later. If you can help decipher "Kuhblattern" I will be so grateful. Thank you in advance, Claire Desmond-Ward
