Are there special characters in your ancestors’ names? Accents, umlauts, or cedillas? Francois just isn’t the same thing as François, nor is Loffler the same as Löffler or Hanss the same as Hanß. Without a keyboard in a language other than English, you can still easily get these special letters using the Alt key and a special four-digit numerical code. For example, an e with an accent mark – é – can be made by pressing down the Alt key on the left side of the space bar on your keyboard and typing the numbers 0233. Usefulshortcuts.com has a great list of alternative letters and the codes, or alt codes, used to create them. Here’s the link: https://bit.ly/2VuJ6fz.
