Parish Register Latin

Latin was once the language of the Church, and as a result, many parish registers from the pre-modern era are written in Latin. For genealogists and historians, the ability to read and interpret these records is essential. This volume provides a handy guide to the most common Latin phrases and terms found in parish registers, along with their English equivalents. An indispensable resource for anyone seeking to explore their family history or the history of the Church.
