The following is a guide for composing a letter in Romanian language asking for genealogical information. You may adapt it to your needs and use it to write to the Romanian State Archives, local civil records office, or parish in Romania. A sample letter in Romanian is included below. The letter is also available as a [[Media:Romanian Genealogical Word List.pdf|pdf]]. | The following is a guide for composing a letter in Romanian language asking for genealogical information.

You must determine the location of the parish before writing. In some cases there are several towns with the same name. It is then necessary to specify a district (judeţul) or nearby larger town in the address. | You must determine the location of the parish before writing.

Pentru a documenta istoria | Pentru a documenta istoria strămoșilor mei, aș dori foarte mult să procur copii ale certificatelor lor de naștere/căsătorie/deces. Dacă in același timp puteți să-mi procurați de asemenea copii din actele oficiale sau transcrieri ale părinților lui, care au locuit în același loc, v-aș rămâne foarte recunoscător dacă ați putea să-mi trimiteți și informația aceasta. Deoarece eu nu stiu limba română--scrisoarea aceasta fiind scrisă cu ajutorul unui prieten, v-aș ruga să-mi scrieți toate numele și localitățile fără inflexiuni gramaticale.<br> | ||
Aș aprecia foarte mult dacă mi-ați scrie care ar fi costul total al lucrării efectuate de Dumneavoastră. În așteptarea răspunsului Dumneavoastră, primiți vă rog întreaga mea considerație. <br><br> | |||
