Researching in a Foreign Language:
Presented by Linda Colton
Nov. 10, 2012
This class will include learning how to
use "Google Translator", finding online lists of common genealogical terms in
almost any language, finding handwriting guides, deciphering foreign language
websites, and using message boards and email to ask for help in translating.
Also, we will look at Research Guides and videos that will cover the history of
certain countries that changed hands and therefore languages over time. Some
churches in the U.S. also kept their records in a foreign language when the
congregation was made up of immigrants, and we will learn how to obtain help for
these records.
