Hi
I forgot to mention one of the sources I really use a lot:
"What did they mean by that-dictionary of historical terms for genealogists" or any genealogy dictionary that gives new meanings for old terms. I cannot count the times I have been asked what "consumption" means. Most of you probably know it means TB. The best one in this book is "consort" which only designates a husband or wife when the spouse is still living. Sounds different than you think the meaning would be!
