Hi Pam Have you considered entering BOTH versions ... or possibly the Latin AND English version of the actual document? If those are German Church records, are those papers strictly in Latin, or a combination of Latin and German language ? It was common in Germany to have both in the same document Thanks Dick Schweiss (List Admin. for) Brown County, MN Mail List ... [email protected] Researching surnames: SCHWEISS .. MEIER ..
