KOLOMEA VITAL RECORDS TRANSLATION AID

Initial Issue: 15 January 2003

CREDITS

The idea and initial submission of German-to-English translations of terms appearing in Kolomea birth records was that of KRG member Paul Auster. KRG member Ron Lahav submitted suggestions on the initial list. From this kernel has grown the concept of providing additional translation aids as they become available for marriage and death records. Translations in Polish will be provided as needed. German accent marks are not provided. Comments, suggestions, and additional inputs are invited. Submit them to the KRG Coordinator .
