Our goal here is to provide the amateur genealogist with useful quality links as opposed to inundating with quantity.

Alt Codes:

Alt codes are used to make certain alphabet characters that aren't normally found on your computer keyboard. To make an alt code character, you press and hold down the "Alt" key on your keyboard, type in the numeric code and then release the "Alt" key.

The alt codes for German alphabet characters are:

 ä = "Alt" + 132

 Ä = "Alt" + 142

 ö = "Alt" + 148

 Ö = "Alt" + 153

 ü = "Alt" + 129

 Ü = "Alt" + 154

 ß = "Alt" + 225
