Glossary
|
|
Welcome to the Glossary area. We have expanded our glossary area to not only include our original list of glossary terms and their definitions, but also a list of abbreviations and their meanings which you may come across on tombstones, written histories or other historical writings. The included abbreviations are mostly of societies and orders but also include other references. If you have any terms or abbreviations that you do not find here and would like them included, please e-mail us here at Genealogy Planet. |

Other Helpful Resources:
The following are other sites we have found useful in our travels. |

| Old Occupations | Very interesting site that gives descriptions of old occupations, such as an ankle beater. The site is presented by Tony and Lynda Langham at their Langham Genealogy Page. |
| Archaic Medical Terms | Found an ancestor that died from an illness you've never heard of? Find it here at Paul Smith's archaic medical terms site. |
| Deciphering Old Handwriting | Learn about or try your hand at deciphering old handwriting (good for reading those old wills and census forms.) |
