SK Translations - Six Need-to-Know 'Letter Swaps' When Deciphering Your German Documents
"Why do you write your letters like that?" is a phrase that most of us have heard at some point in our lives. Just as each of us write our ABCs slightly differently from one another, so too did our ancestors which can make transcribing their German handwriting rather difficult! Luckily, for those of us who work with the old German script on a daily basis, there is a great trick of the trade that helps with the daunting process of deciphering family documents: letter swaps. What is a letter swap, you ask? Well, some letters in the old German script look very similar to one another, and the way one person wrote one letter may be the way another person wrote its "swap" equivalent. So if a word isn't making sense with the letter you think, trying replacing it with one of its substitutes, and see if you now have a plausible German word. This article explains the typical swaps in the world of German handwriting.
