Actually, Fraktur is a German typeface and Sütterlin is a handscript. Fraktur was in printed books, Sütterlin was how Germans wrote. My mother is old enough to have learned Sütterlin in school. I was born in Germany but I am not quite old enough :) I do pride myself on my Sütterlin handwriting ability though.

It was superseded by Sutterlin script in the early 1900's, which disappeared in 1940's to the current script. > -----Original Message----- > From: Henry [mailto:henr...@verizon.net] > Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 10:57 PM > To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com > Subject: [LegacyUG] Words > > Good Evening to All > Creating a Master Source I came across some words that I am not sure > of the Meaning. > 1.
