Translation is simple as there are a limited number of categories which are self evident by the content (names, dates etc.). Finding information about specific people is easy. Much of the content is organized alphabetically by surname - however the CD also has digital word/name-search capability. The page examples provided below, display in your web browser. The books in the actual CDs are viewed in Acrobat PDF Reader, providing easy tools to enlarge, reduce, copy/paste, print, etc.
