I know I am making this like "waiting for godot", or that old "I am de viper, in ten years I vill come to your house" joke. Between now and Monday I will actually sit down and input some baptisms, (making sure not to get TURKEY GRAVY all over my keyboard!!!!!) Art Helen Rehm <tar@direcway.com> wrote: Hi everyone. I have gotten several records in Latin. I have a little inside help with mine. I am Catholic and I ask the Priest at the Catholic Diocesan Office in Kansas City to translate them for me, which he does. He says it keeps him up on his Latin a little bit. I can tell you, that when the first name is in Latin, the name is pretty easy to figure out. You'll know what I mean when you see some of these names. Father Coleman would probably be glad to translate. His email address is coleman@diocesekcsj.org As long as we don't overpower him with requests. But he is a very nice man. He is in charge of all the genealogy records for Kansas City-St. Joseph, MO. I hope these records are put on this website, that would be wonderful. Also, another suggestion. One time I just searched "Latin translation" on the Internet and a couple of websites came up.
