So I always know where to find chico, right? Not any longer. Under the new and officially sanctioned paradigm “ch” is not its own letter and is alphabetized amongst the “c”s.

Having struggled with learning German in high school, I admire your ability to learn new languages/alphabets. And yes, putting it into a genealogical context can see just how important they are to learn. Thank you.

I totally agree about Latin. It was the only language offered in my high school so I took it and moaned about not being able to speak it or use it for anything. That was before I found those Catholic Church Records written in Latin. Thank you, St. Mary’s High School
