Have you ever come across the term Apputenances, what about B., or Benefice? The list could go on ... DL, Familia, Muniments, Primogeniture, Sinister, Sep., or Ts.?
How many times have you come across a word or abbreviation while researching, that you're really not sure what it means? It happens to us all - throughout our whole genealogical research life we are faced with terms that come up in numerous places such as archives offices, documents, books, and even in conversation with other fellow genealogists.
Here is a book to help us all. 'Genealogical Jargon for the Family Historians' defines many common (and not-so-common) words, abbreviations and acronyms, including a few Latin words and terms. Each word/term is listed alphabetically with their description following. Together with an appendix which lists all of the Chapman Codes for each of the counties in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales - this is a guide that ALL genealogists (beginner or experienced) should have in their collection.
