Welcome to a new series of posts, showcasing a selection of books, that I use, with my research. DISCLAIMER. These are my own recommendations. I'm not being paid to showcase them. DICTIONARIES. I know that now days, most thngs can be 'Googled' and meanings found instantly but I'm old fashioned and like my dictionaries. The Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary is used every time I receive a death certificate and can't understand the cause of death. The Oxford Dictionary of Law. I find this invaluable, for deciphering those legal trems, found in will, deeds, etc. The Pocket Oxfor Latin Dictionary.   Again used for wills, deeds, baptism certificates and other documents. My latin hasn't improved but I can now find the meaning easily. I hope I now have some sapientia*. Sapientia - wisdom. Bye for now, Lilian.

A visit to Adelaide, for a genealogist, should include a visit to Gould Genealogy, at Nova Gardens. I had asked Alona, if she could find several books, for me. Two were and I also picked up two on German research. It was lovely to see Alona and her cute car. The photo book will be very useful, for my UTAS course. The Latin Glossary is small enough to take with me, when I'm looking at documents. Paul had spent that time, sitting in the car, that morning tea, was on the cards. From Nova Gardens we  went to Gress Cross and State Records of South Australia. Very helpful staff. More next post. Bye for now, Lilian.
