Program Description

Event Details

Learning something about the languages your ancestors spoke will assist you in your research.  Recognizing how names were pronounced can help you find people in indexed records; many name changes entailed translating the name into that of the new country.  Online resources available to help you include word lists, alphabets, and translation engines. 

Co-sponsored by the DuPage County Genealogical Society.
