[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Reading polish church records

[Rose Ingram]

Rachel,

Your Family History Center may have a copy of the Polish Genealogical Word 
List which you could copy.  I found this very helpful when it started 
reading Polish written records.  It contain most of the necessary 'buzz' 
words needed for translation.

If not, you can also find this list at the www.familysearch.org website. 
Click the "Search" tab, then "Research Helps", then choose the letter "P" 
from the alphabetial list.  The Word List should be about half way down the 
page.  You can either print out all the pages, or  order the pamphlet 
on-line if you wish.
