The title of this book sums up the contents without the need for further explanation. It is designed to help the user translate documents that have been written in German. The listings in this guide focus primarily on the words, symbols, and abbreviations found on genealogical documents. Using it in conjunction with a standard German-English Dictionary, the user needs no prior knowledge of the German language to be able to obtain accurate translation results. The listings are defined in one word or simple short phrases, keeping the user from becoming frustrated or overwhelmed with confusing etymology. The German-English Genealogical Dictionary is part of the Illinois Room collection at the Hayner Downtown Library.
