Section F, Part 11 GENERAL GLOSSARY OF TERMS

You will come across certain words and phrases repeatedly as you are extracting family history data. The following list contains the most common examples. Having a good dictionary available to you while you are extracting, however, is really essential. The hard- bound Cassell's Italian-English, English-Italian Dictionary is recommended. It should be available from most good bookstores.
