Nearly all Roman Catholic church records used Latin to some extent.  
Latin was used in the records of most European countries and in the Roman Catholic records of the United States and Canada. Because Latin was used in so many countries, local usage varied. Certain terms were commonly used in some countries but not in others. In addition, the Latin used in British records has more abbreviations than the Latin used in European records.

=== Inflections ===
 
Latin is an inflected language, meaning that the endings of words vary according to how the words are used in a sentence. ''Who—whose— whom or marry—marries—married'' are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives the most commonly seen form of each Latin word. As you read Latin records, be aware that almost all words vary with usage.

A word's ending also varies by whether it is plural or singular. Latin words are divided into five declensions, but only three are considered here. Each declension has it's own basic pattern for word endings.

Latin words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. For example, ''rex'' (king) is a masculine word, ''aetas'' (age) is a feminine word, and ''oppidum'' (town) is a neuter word.  
Latin words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. For example, ''rex'' (king) is a masculine word, ''aetas'' (age) is a feminine word, and ''oppidum'' (town) is a neuter word.  


Words that describe persons, places, or things (adjectives) will have either masculine, feminine, or neuter endings to match whatever they describe. For example, in Latin you would write ''magnus rex'' (great king), ''magna aetas'' (great age), and ''magnum oppidum'' (large town).

This word list gives only the masculine form of adjectives. For example:  


*''noster, nostra, nostrum'' (our) is listed as ''noster''
:*''noster, nostra, nostrum'' (our) is listed as ''noster''  
*''magnus, magna, magnum'' (great, large) is listed as ''magnus''
:*''magnus, magna, magnum'' (great, large) is listed as ''magnus''  
*''nobilis, nobile'' (noble, known) is listed as ''nobilis''
:*''nobilis, nobile'' (noble, known) is listed as ''nobilis''
 
Some words can be either masculine or feminine, such as ''patrinus'' (godfather) and ''patrina'' (godmother). This word list usually gives only the masculine form even though a feminine form may occur in Latin records. Thus, given the word ''famulus'' (servant), you can conclude that ''famula'' is a female servant. Similarly, this word list gives only ''natus est'' ("he was born"). You can conclude that ''nata est'' means "she was born." The plural form ''nati sunt'' means "they were born."

==== Plurals  ====
 
Plural forms of Latin words usually end in -i, -ae, or -es. Thus patrinus (godfather) becomes patrini (godparents), filia (daughter) becomes filiae (daughters), and pater (father) becomes patres (fathers). However, these same endings may also indicate other grammatical changes besides plurality.
 
==== Grammatical Use  ====
 
The endings of Latin words can also vary depending on the grammatical use of the words. Latin grammar requires a specific type of ending for a word used as the subject of the sentence, used in the possessive, used as the object of a verb, or used with a preposition. Latin words fall into several classes, each with its own set of grammatical endings.

== Numbers ==


In some genealogical records, numbers—especially dates—are written out. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. Ordinal numbers are adjectives and may sometimes appear with the feminine ending ('''''-a''''') or the neuter ending ('''''-um'''''). In written dates the ordinal numbers usually end with the grammatical ending ('''''-o'''''). Example:

  • Latin records exist throughout the world.

Latin is the language of the Romans. Through the continuing influence of Roman civilization and the use of Latin by the Catholic Church many genealogical resources are written in Latin. This page provides information about the language, including grammar, and a Latin to English wordlist.

Template:IllumBible

Usage[edit | edit source]

Nearly all Roman Catholic church records used Latin to some extent. Latin was used in the records of most European countries and in the Roman Catholic records of the United States and Canada. Because Latin was used in so many countries, local usage varied. Certain terms were commonly used in some countries but not in others. In addition, the Latin used in British records has more abbreviations than the Latin used in European records.

Language Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Inflections[edit | edit source]

Latin is an inflected language, meaning that the endings of words vary according to how the words are used in a sentence Who—whose— whom or marry—marries—married are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives the most commonly seen form of each Latin word. As you read Latin records, be aware that almost all words vary with usage.


The case of a word describes how it is being used in a sentence. The main three cases are:

Nominative: when the noun is the subject of the sentence, i.e. it is doing the verb
Accusative : when the noun is the object of the sentence, so something else is doing a verb on it.
Genitive: the noun possesses or belongs to something else. In English indicated by 'of' or 's

A words ending also varies by whether it is plural or singular. Latin words are divided into three main declensions. Each declension had it own basic pattern for word endings.

The main word endings genealogists need to know are:

Situation 1st declension 2nd declension 3rd declension
Nominative singular -a -us
Nominative plural -ae -i -es
Genitive Singular -ae -i -is
Genitive Plural -arum -orum -um
Accusative Singular -am -um -em
Accusative Plural -as -os -es


Most Male names are in the 2nd declension. Nearly all female names are in the 1st declension. Names from both genders can be found in the 3rd declension. 

Gender[edit | edit source]

Latin words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. For example, rex (king) is a masculine word, aetas (age) is a feminine word, and oppidum (town) is a neuter word.

Words that describe persons, places, or things (adjectives) will have either masculine, feminine, or neuter endings. For example, in Latin you would write magnus rex (great king), magna aetas (great age), and magnum oppidum (large town).

This word list gives only the masculine form of adjectives. For example:

  • noster, nostra, nostrum (our) is listed as noster
  • magnus, magna, magnum (great, large) is listed as magnus
  • nobilis, nobile (noble, known) is listed as nobilis

Some words can be either masculine or feminine, such as patrinus (godfather) and patrina (godmother). This word list usually gives only the male form even though a female form may occur in Latin records. Thus, given the word famulus (servant), you can conclude that famula is a female servant. Similarly, this word list gives only natus est ("he was born"). You can conclude that nata est means "she was born." The plural form nati sunt means "they were born."

Examples and Exceptions[edit | edit source]

filius son
(pater) filii (father) of the son
(baptizavi) filium (I baptized the) son
(ex) filio (from) the son
vidua widow
(filius) viduae (son) of the widow
(sepelivi) viduam (I buried the) widow
(ex) vidua (from) the widow
pater father
(filius) patris (son) of the father
(sepelivi) patrem (I buried the) father
(ex) patre (from) the father


Other noun endings change as follows to show possession:

  • -as may change to -atis
  • -ns may change to -ntis
  • -or may change to -oris
  • -tio may change to -tionis

Example: sartor (tailor) changes to sartoris (of the tailor)


Words that show action (verbs) also vary depending on who is doing the action and whether the action is past, present, or future. For example, the Latin word baptizare (to baptize) will appear with various endings:

Present Past
baptize have baptized, baptized
(I) baptizo baptizavi, baptizabam
(he) baptizat baptizavit, baptizabat
(they) baptizant baptizaverunt, baptizabant
is baptized was baptized
(he) baptizatur baptizatus est

Spelling[edit | edit source]

Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. The following spelling variations are common in Latin documents:

  • i and j used interchangeably
  • u and v used interchangeably
  • e used for ae (æ)
  • e used for oe (œ)
  • c used for qu

Examples:

  • ejusdem or eiusdem
  • civis or ciuis
  • preceptor or praeceptor
  • celebs or coelebs
  • quondam or condam

Additional Resources[edit | edit source]

This word list includes only the words most commonly found in genealogical sources. For further help, use a Latin-English dictionary. Latin-English dictionaries are available on each floor of the Family History Library. The call numbers begin with 473.21. Many resources exist that will help you read Latin genealogical records. One of these is the Reading Handwritten Records Series of free online classes available at FamilySearch.org. This series includes one interactive lesson, Key Words and Phrases in Latin Records, which includes a printable handout of key words and phrases.

Another resource is the National Archives of England, they have 12 online lessons covering latin records from 1086 to 1733, each lesson provides step by step instructions and is listed under the title of "Beginners' Latin Tutorial".

The Internet can be of great assistance in trying to translate Latin. There are some dictionaries and word lists as well as some sites that will translate for you. One good website is William Whitaker's Words for translating words. Latin Dictionary and Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid are Latin dictionaries. It is important to remember with using any of these websites that you have to be careful about accepting the meaning. Be sure that the meaning makes sense with what you are trying to translate.


The following Latin-English dictionary is available on microfilm for use in Family History Centers:

Additional dictionaries are listed under Latin Language - Dictionaries in the Subject Search of the FamilySearch Catalog. Most bookstores carry useful, inexpensive Latin-English dictionaries.

The following sources can also be helpful for reading Latin records:

  • Grun, Paul A. Schlüssel zur alten und neuen Abkürzungen: Wörterbuch lateinischer und deutscher Abkürzungen des späten Mittlealters und der Neuzeit. Limburg/Lahn, Germany: Starke Verlag, 1966. (FHL book 943 B4gg vol. 6.) Key to ancient and modern abbreviations: Dictionary of Latin and German abbreviations of the late middle age and modern times.

Key Words[edit | edit source]

To find and use specific types of Latin records, you will need to know some key words in Latin. This section lists key genealogical terms in English and gives the Latin words that have the same or similar meanings.

For example, in the first column you will find the English word marriage. In the second column you will find Latin words with meanings such as marry, marriage, wedding, wedlock, unite, legitimate, joined, and other words used in Latin records to indicate marriage.

Numbers[edit | edit source]

In some genealogical records, numbers—especially dates—are written out. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. Ordinal numbers are adjectives and may sometimes appear with the feminine ending (-a) or the neuter ending (-um). In written dates the ordinal numbers usually end with the grammatical ending (-o). Example:

quartus = the fourth
quarto = on the fourth

Roman Numerals[edit | edit source]

Roman numerals are written as combinations of the seven letters listed below. The letters can be written in capital (XVI) or lower-case (xvi) letters.

I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000

D is sometimes represented by the symbol Roman Numeral D.jpg.

M is sometimes represented by the symbol Roman Numeral M.jpg.

If smaller value numbers follow larger value numbers, add the values together. If a smaller value number precedes a larger value number, subtract the smaller from the larger. For example:

VII
IX
XL
MDCCII
MCMLXIV 		= (5+2) = 7
= (10-1) = 9
= (50-10) = 40
= 1000+500+200+2 = 1702
= 1000+(1000-100)+50+10+(5-1) = 1964
