Latin and Diminutive names

[Gay J Oliver]

Lenhar recently found these websites and thought that forum members would find them useful:


www.freereg.org.uk/howto/latinnames.htm

www.freereg.org.uk/howto/realnames.htm

www.nireland.com/anne.johnston/Diminutives.htm

There is another site giving old names for diseases e.g. "phythisis" at :
www.bignell.uk.com

(Click on "Disease in History" and then on "Glossary of old names")

Came across this site whilst trying to determine what a cordwainer did. Comprehensive and worth at least a browse.

It's a free site and, as the title suggests, it defines a whole range of Victorian occupations that are arranged alphabetically under separate letter headings. I think this link gets you straight to the page of occupations beginning with 'B'.
