In German, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in the sentence. The gender of a noun is indicated by der (masculine), die (feminine), and das (neuter), all three of which translate as "the." Word endings may vary depending on the way the words are used in the sentence. All nouns are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. German words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are always capitalized. In addition, German is found in some early records of the United States, such as in Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin, and other states where Germans lived. You may find the Dutch Genealogical Word List useful when working with these records.
For example, in the province of Westfalen and other areas of Germany that border the Netherlands, you may notice words that are closely related to Dutch. There are several different dialects in the German language. Records written in German may be found in these countries and also in parts of Poland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Czechia, Hungary, and wherever German people settled. German is spoken in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. See the Latin Genealogical Word List (34077). Latin words are often found in German records, and a few are included in this list.
If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a German-English dictionary, the online Grimm Deutsches Wörterbuch (one of the best sources), or other regional online dictionaries found at. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. On most computers, simultaneously pressing CTRL and F (Command and F, if on a Mac) will search this page for the word you wish to translate. This list contains German words with their English translations.
