Deane,

There are better experts on this list than me, but my maternal side is SCHRÖTH and my oldest Uncle pronounced it like SCHRAUTH. I am told that the way to pronounce "ö" which equals "oe" is to form your mouth like you are going to say "oh" but say "e" instead... comes out sort of like a sick "a" when I do it.

Good luck, I'm sure you will get better answers from others.

Question: I'm told my immigrant ancestor changed his name in America
from Schröeder to Shrader.
Shrader is pronounced with a long 'a' in English. Would Schröeder be the
closest to Shrader in German?

Thanks.

PS - His name is Daniel Shrader b. 25 Nov. 1802 in Baden-Baden, Germany
