Shea, Jonathan D. and William F.
Hoffman. Following the Paper
Trail: A Multilingual Translation
Guide. Teaneck, NY: Avotaynu inc., 1994 (reprint).
This is another great genealogy book. We are a melting pot of nations, so all
of our ancestors were at one time immigrants. Chances are if you are like my family, you no longer speak
the tongue of your ancestors. If
that is the case, then you should check out this guide.
The book is divided into four linguistic
families: Germanic, Romance,
Slavic, and Other.
Each linguistic family has an introduction
that includes the history of the language along with some grammar tips.
Language sections include: the alphabet in print & cursive
form, notes on alphabet origin, hints on pronunciation; sample documents in
various formats (some hard-to-read docs have been retyped for comparison),
glossary of genealogical terms, and a sampling of personal names.
Documents used include: family records; birth, marriage, and
death records; civilian & military passports; steamship ticket; exit
permit, identity card, and more.
Not every type of document is used for each language.
The Germanic Languages: German and Swedish
The Romance Languages: French, Italian, Latin, Portuguese,
Romanian, & Spanish. Note: Latin was the official language of the
Catholic Church until the mid-20th century; so many church
records were recorded in Latin.
The Slavic Languages: Czech, Polish, & Russian
The Other Languages: Hungarian (Magyar) and Lithuanian
