The Germanic family of languages has experienced several phonological “sound shifts” over the last 2,500 years. These linguistic changes can create challenges for genealogists who are researching Germanic heritage. Beginning with the descendance of Proto-Germanic from the Proto-Indo-European language, this presentation will teach attendees about the etymology of the German language in a genealogical context and will provide concrete examples of linguistic variations present in genealogical materials across time periods. Attendees will also be introduced to the German “Fraktur” typeface and will be provided with helpful tips to aid their Germanic genealogical research. Presented by Gabi
