=== Given Names in Foreign Languages === | |||
'''Because genealogical records were kept in various languages, you may find your ancestor's name in different languages at different times.'''<br> | |||
As regions fell under the rule of different countries, the language used in records could change. For example, your great-grandfather's name could be in Latin on his birth record, in French on his marriage record, and in German on his death record. Some given names are often very different when translated into different languages, as shown by the following table. | |||
