info_outlineWhat if I told you that in the 1700’s and 1800’s in Pennsylvania, there were unique and beautiful birth records created? These are not official government records and not church records. It is what we call fraktur and I explain what it is and where to find it in this episode.

The example shown is “Birth and Marriage Record (Geburts und Trauschein) for Catharina Stutzmann and Daniel Esch,” hosted at the Free Library of Philadelphia website https://libwww.freelibrary.org/digital/item/5808
Two other websites with digital images of fraktur are the National Archives nara.gov and Winterthur Museum in Delaware winterthur.org
