Many genealogists are dismayed when they come across Latin records in the course of their research: their enthusiasm is suddenly dampened, as if they have come up against an insurmountable obstacle. It's true that sometimes discouragement seems justified when confronted with a language you don't know or haven't used since secondary school, and with scripts that aren't always legible.<\/p>\n
However, it is relatively easy to find one's way through the Latin parish registers: we are far from the complexity of classical literature and the style of the great Roman authors: most of the formulas are recurrent and the vocabulary is limited.<\/p>\n
This guide aims to provide a practical, methodical and step-by-step approach to Latin for genealogists. It briefly explains how the Latin sentence works, lays down some basic syntax, highlights the differences with French, and then deals in detail with the naming of individuals and places, numbers and dates, and the specific vocabulary used from record to record for baptisms, marriages and burials. With numerous glossaries in the appendices, it helps family historians to continue their research and easily translate the records of interest to them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Ce guide a pour ambition de permettre une approche pratique du latin, m\u00e9thodique et progressive, \u00e0 l\u2019usage des g\u00e9n\u00e9alogistes. Il explique le fonctionnement de la phrase latine, pose des\u00a0bases de syntaxe, met en \u00e9vidence les diff\u00e9rences avec le fran\u00e7ais, puis aborde la d\u00e9signation des individus et des lieux, les nombres et les dates, les termes de vocabulaire sp\u00e9cifique qui reviennent, d\u2019acte en acte. Avec de nombreux lexiques en annexe, il aide les historiens des familles \u00e0 traduire ais\u00e9ment les actes qui les int\u00e9ressent.<\/p>\n
