A Translation Guide to 19th-Century Polish-Language Civil-Registration Documents (including Birth, Marriage and Death Records)[1] is a book written by genealogical researcher Judith R. Frazin as a tool to help researchers unlock the meaning of 19th-century Polish language civil records. Many researchers use such tools, including Ms. Frazin's guide, to help decipher records found in resources including the LDS (Latter day saints) Family History Library.[2]
Included in the book are the following:
- A step-by-step guide, which teaches researchers how to divide each document into a series of "mini-documents" so as to make easier the task of understanding what each document says
- 7 sample documents with important words and the information which follows these words highlighted
- 15 topical vocabulary lists, such as Age, Family and Occupations, which are composed of words that actually occur in 19th-century documents.
The first edition of the book (1984)[3] was significantly revised in its second edition (1989),[4] which expanded upon the various topical lists and added a listing of numerous given names as found in the relevant records.
A third revised edition (2009), set in larger type, further expanded the topical lists, included a map, gave information about census records and how the Polish language works (including an explanation of case endings and name suffixes), and provided tips on how to locate one's ancestral town and records from that town (also see History of Jews in Poland).
Due to her work on the book, the Polish Genealogical Society of America recognized Judith Frazin's contribution to the field of genealogy by selecting her to receive its Wiglia award in 2000.[5]
