Translating german first name

I have a death certificate from my Great Grandfather, which has his Father and Mothers name. I know his last Name is Von See from Germany, his first name I can not read and his mothers last name I believe is Buck. Can anyone help me?

John

Old German handwriting is exceptionally difficult to make out for the non-fluent, as I understand. Your best move might be to shoot an image with a digital camera or scanner, in as high resolution as you can get, and post that somewhere where people can access it to attempt to decipher the handwriting.

Yes, please do that. For example, you can post such a picture anonymously at imgur.com
