Barbara,
the tip Ron gave about the ribbon is the easiest way do choose a letter from a foreign language. At the moment this only works for the languages of old western Europe.. With eg. Polish. A no Go. A pitty as many Germans have roots in present Poland. I dont know if you know where the German Umlaute come from. If you do. Great. For the others who didnt. The German umlaut is a combination of two letters. There is also another letter ß spoken as ess tsetet, which is a combined s and z. The Umlaute Ä,ä,Ö,ö, Ü,ü) are the same as AE,ae,OE, oe, UE, ue. This is historical. For those interested search for Suetterlin in Wiki, Thus if researching names from Germany always check both ways of writing as both ways are used in Germany. Hope this was a little help. Bernhard, from Germany _____ Von: Barbara [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 25.
