(again - posting an ANSWER instead of a QUESTION - to Q/A about how FS Memories can be used to preserve and share various very unique items.)

Check out this article about FRAKTUR documents - popular among the German of early Pennsylvania among other locations.

see a collection of 450 FRAKTUR DOCUMENTS - most with some genealogical info

Do any of you have any FRAKTUR art to submit to the collection?

    Sind Sie der Fraktur-Experte?

    Or have you simply declared yourself an expert in all things?

    understood

    but why not get more exposure and post to both areas - - -

    why is FS so "splintered" into so many different areas - where I and others have to goo searching in like 3 or 4 areas . . .

    In the old community - you could post a question or information to the same group . . .

    you didn't have to jump all over the place . . . to find things or post things
