Plz help identify these words

#1

Post by Alexandra W » 25 Nov 2018, 05:12

Hi,

Got some paper, probably from 1942 yet looks like they were written in Kurrentschrift. The first one looks like it begins with “Stadt....”. Anybody help? Thx!

Regards,Alex

Hi Alex,
It ist always better to show more than only the word to identify, as there are more words to compare with and getting used to the author's handwriting.

Can you repost it?

Best regards
Armin

Hi Armin,

Sure! I circled the words in red. Looks like occupations. Thx for the advice!

Regards,
Alex

Not sure if others agree, but I see:

Sohn des Kantors

Tochter des Stadtsekretärs

Thx Greg! My friend who helped me to transfer this document into doc file also read this as Kantor tho she‘s unsure and suggest me to double check with others. Now we can be sure that one is correct.

Alex

Original writing of the other one looks more like Stadtsecretär,
but 1909 address book for Bromberg had only one K(C)arl Gardiewski, Stadtsekretär.

Thx Greg,

I’ve also seen other paperworks in nearby areas. Seems like “c” and “k” are interchangeable?

Alex
