This book is designed for the      family researcher who has little or no knowledge of German but who      nevertheless needs to make a translation of German-language documents. The      dictionary covers thousands of German terms and defines them in single words      or brief phrases. All words, symbols, and abbreviations in the dictionary      were chosen on the basis of their association with genealogy, having been      noted in church records, civil registration records, family correspondence,      genealogical journals, ships' passenger lists, and emigration records. Among      the many categories of entries included in the dictionary are family      relationships, days of the week, map terms, legal terms, cardinal and      ordinary numbers, roman numerals, signs of the zodiac, coins, liquid and dry      measures, measures of length, place names, historical territories,      geographical terms, occupations, titles, military ranks, types of taxes,      illnesses, calendar days, male and female given names, heraldry,      abbreviations, books of the Bible, and common genealogical words from      Danish, Dutch, French, Latin, and Polish. In conjunction with a standard      German-English dictionary, the user of this work should be able to make a      word-by-word translation of any German document and understand it.
