Book Description
All genealogists and historians encounter abbreviations and acronyms in the course of their work. But even the most experienced researcher would be hard-pressed to know the meaning of all of them. In Abbreviations & Acronyms, the compiler presents an exceptionally detailed list of meanings for abbreviations, alphabetic symbols, initials, contractions, and shortenings of words--those that are found in original records and in printed sources. The listings, along with a brief explanation or description of each entry , are arranged alphabetically and appear just as they would in the original documents. For genealogist, historians, reference librarians, and others who often work with documents that contain abbreviations or acronyms, this work is an ideal reference source.
