    1. [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Help with Latin
    2. Kathy Lenerz
    3. I've been trying to read church records from Zerf that are written in Latin. Using a dictionary and "cheat sheets" from the FHC, I can handle all the basics just fine (birth, death, marriage, dates, etc.). I get stumped with longer phrases written in poor handwriting and faded with age. If I had a dictionary/list of common Latin phrases/terminology used in church records, I might better be able to decipher the handwriting by matching it to the appropriate Latin phrase. Can someone suggest a glossary of church Latin? I've tried all the Latin sites found by going through Cyndi's List and other websites, and have not found what I'm looking for. Thanks for any help, Kathy Lenerz
