Summary: A useful research tool!
Comment: I remember the dread with which I first faced German genealogical records written or printed in Gothic script. It seemed like a completely alien alphabet. However, with a little practice and the useful examples in this book, you can decipher such records yourself.

This book covers the Gothic alphabet and shows variations of handwritten script for each letter. It then provides handwritten script examples of common genealogical words and their German and English translation. Handwritten symbols and common abbreviations found in Germanic records are also covered.

Sections are devoted to showing side-by-side comparisons of Latin, English, Danish, and handwritten German script for common genealogical terms, occupations & titles, and diseases. There is also a useful timeline. This handy book is spiral-bound.

Summary: I have found this book very helpful.
Comment: The task of deciphering letters and documents written in the style of the last century can be a dismaying task. Edna Bentz' examples are very helpful to anyone who wants to learn. As she so positively indicates by her title: "If I Can You Can."
