I have a friend who is searching for her birth mother. We have many documents, however, her mother's maiden name is coved by permanent black ink. Is there a way to disolve or remove the black ink with out damaging the the typewritten orginal document; in other words preserving the valuable information underneath?

you might not be able to remove the ink, but... you could try since it was typed to do a relief by doing a gentle rubbing of the back with a charcoal o very soft lead and light paper. Or try to photo copy lighter and lighter.

im sure there is... i dont know it maybe ask your local forensic police? i do have a few suggestions though. if you hold it up to the light depending on the ink you may be able to see the writing, also try viewing it from the back on a flat surface with the light source underneath the paper. hope this helps

you cant the ink from the typewriter is more likly to be damaged than the permanent marker, you might try to flip it over put a piece of paper over it and rub a pencil lightly over it using the side of the lead not the tip the typewriter will leave imprints in the paper try it it just might work

Im not sure but have you turn the paper over and hold it up to light and see if you can read it like that?

Take it to someone who restores paper documents.
