Introduction to Old German Handwriting
Saturday October 11, 2008 from 10:00am - 3:00pm
Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center
105 Seminary Street
Pennsburg, Pennsylvania 18073 Get Directions
This workshop will introduce you to reading the various old fashioned styles of handwriting used by Germans since 1700. Besides learning to read the written letters, you will learn to imitate the handwriting. This course will be of value to anyone working with Fraktur, genealogical records, wills, bookplates, baptism certificates, etc. You will also learn how German spelling rules have changed since 1700 so that you can look up words in a modern dictionary or on-line.

A basic knowledge of German is not necessary, but helpful. All materials will be provided. $40.00 for four hours of instruction.
