I just finished up something like 30-40 hours of work on a single microfilm record from Germany. I had gotten the link from that site.

However, reading it in Latin was…delightful. Yes, delightful. If you find squinting at old microfilm records from before the era of standardized handwriting fun.

I just found my great grandparents wedding certificate. Was a little thrown off at first since it referred to my great grandmother was Mary L. We always assumed her name was just Lillian. Guess she preferred that one. It all makes sense now given my grandmother’s notes in her journal about how my oldest aunt was named after her mother. Mary Jo(yce). Joyce being the maiden name.
