I found these headings in the microfiche file at the local Family
History Center. These words are in listings of German church records.
I believe these headings mean marriage, baptism and death, but can't be
sure, and don't know which means what.

If anyone is familiar with these terms, please pass this info on to me
either here, or via e-mail.

Thanks,

Baptism, marriage and death, in that order.

Next time you are in the FHC as for the German Research Outline. You
will find these words and many others commonly found in German
research.

There is a lot of information on how to research Germany and is well
worth the dollar or two they charge.

If they have any books they may also have a German/English dictionary.

Read the the files found on http://www.genealogy.com There is also a
wealth of information to be found there.
