The Germanic family of languages has exper ienced several phonological &ldquo\;sound shifts&rdquo\; over the last 2\, 500 years. These linguistic changes can create challenges for genealogists who are researching Germanic heritage. Beginning with the descendance of Proto-Germanic from the Proto-Indo-European language\, this presentation w ill teach attendees about the etymology of the German language in a geneal ogical context and will provide concrete examples of linguistic variations present in genealogical materials across time periods. Attendees will als o be introduced to the German &ldquo\;Fraktur&rdquo\; typeface and will be provided with helpful tips to aid their Germanic genealogical research. P resented by Gabi \;
