Italian & Latin computerized translations, Genealogy Word Lists, Ecclesiastical Abbreviations, Medical Terms and old Italian Occupations and their modern English Translations. Includes names for most Italian occupations.

	Computer Translations - Computerized translations are never as good as a well educated Native Italian Speaker or a Professor of Latin & Ancient Languages but they are sometimes just as good (if not better) than a poorly educated guess or none at all. Machine Translations will help you understand the general idea "gist" of most things written in Italian and help you write a letter to Italy if you are using well written sample Italian Form Letters.
	Italian Genealogy Word Lists - important words to use in requests to Italy, occupation lists, Italian Military words and more
	Genealogy & Medical Words Lists - words found in genealogical records including lists of old medical terms
