We all run into words in our research that make us say "Huh?" Well get on the web and go to www.eogen.com to take advantage of this quick finding aid. If you do not find the word you need, then you might want to consider researching it further elsewhere and then pop back and add it to the "Encyclopedia of Genealogy."
