Indispensable guide for beginning genealogists
For anyone trying to learn about their family through church and civil records from Europe, this is an excellent tool. Since most records follow standard formats this book guides one through the "standard" verbiage and allows one to pick out the important details about a death, birth or wedding record. The only thing that would be more helpful would be a better guide to handwriting styles of the period for the various languages
