Talk:German Genealogical Word List

I recently got this email: "The FamilySearch Wiki page German Word List has been changed on 18:00, 27 January 2012 by Joycebevans." When I checked the addition by Joyce, it says:

A wiki article describing an online collection is found at: Germany, Saxony, Freiberg Funeral Sermons (FamilySearch Historical Records)

I don't see how this new information and link added to the German language pages adds anything to the content. It seems to me to be confusing. If anyone can clarify the 27 January addition, please do so. Otherwise, I will soon reverse it.

I googled and found reference to Andreas-Moller Bibliothek at http://www.sparkassenstiftungen-mittelsachsen.de/de_andreas_moeller_bibliothek_freiberg.html

Clearly this link to Word List is not the right one. Should be in section pertaining to Archives and/or Libraries as well as under Resources section in subsection "Funeral Sermons" or "Pedigrees" Dsammy 06:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

There is still a need for separate table covering the numbers only. It is bad trying to find the words to aid in indexing German records.

I agree about needing the separate numbers list. I'll try to find some time to add one.

Need to add 3rd column to show the spellings as used in the records, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, sixteenth, seventeenth, twentieth, etc. Had a crazy time trying to solve this problem while indexing Luxembourg's civil records which were in German.
