see "Deciphering German Script (Kurrentschrift)" in FamilySearch Wiki Germany

The website http://www.kurrentschrift.net/

is a tutorial that will help you with recognizing German words written in Kurrentschrift (German Gothic). In the website click on "Übungsblätter" then "Schreibübung". This will bring up textboxes, in which to enter any word. Then click on "umwandeln" and further down your word will appear in Kurrentschrift. To improve your ability to decipher a text written in German Gothic, practice with this tool by entering genealogical phrases from a German genealogical word list, i.e. geboren (born) gestorben (died) Heirat (marriage) etc.
