Dear Cameron Cuzzins:
I became aware of this website and it's too great not to share with
everyone!
http://www.genealogy-quest.com/glossaries/index.html
Abbreviations ~ Diseases ~ Epidemics ~ Latin ~ Occupations ~ Terminology
Another one offers help reading 'old' handwriting - website below:
http://www.amberskyline.com/treasuremaps/oldhand.html
Below website is great for finding out many things,
including old land measurements, etc.
http://www.refdesk.com/facts.html
don't know if the measurement "Concession" is listed or not.
In my desk dictionary, "Concession" is Meaning 3: Something, as a land
tract, granted esp. by a government to be used for a specific purpose.
Terms used in Law, including those in Last Wills & Testaments:
