If you are looking for general help (copied from the FIBIS Fibiwiki page French https://wiki.fibis.org/w/French)

• Latin Genealogical Word List. Some Roman Catholic records may be in Latin. Family Search (LDS) Wiki.
  • The abbreviation "L. C." stands for loco citato = in the place cited. This abbreviation sometimes appears after the mother's name. It likely means the parents live in the city/village/town where these parish records come from.[14]

Latin Handwriting Lesson 1 with links to a series of a total of 10 Lessons. FamilySearch Help Center/Lessons

Latin For Genealogists. Note however, the records discussed are from German church registers. FamilySearch Help Center/Lessons

• Script Tutorial: Latin Documents Brigham Young University
• Rudy Schmidt’s Latin/English Glossary of Causes of Death and other Archaic Medical Terms, now archived.

If you're indexing (as suggested by your choice of category), then please return Latin batches if you need help interpreting Latin. Indexing never turns out well when it's done by people who don't know the language.

If you're researching, then Maureen's links can all help. A few more:

Lewis & Short (dictionary) — classically-focused, so doesn't have everything that was used in 18th-19th century church registers, but can help decipher things with its "words starting with", "words ending with", and "words containing" search options.

Latin is Simple is a dictionary and grammar guide that's useful for figuring out a dictionary form for an inflected word.

The UK National Archives has several useful Latin reference pages, for example "How to decline personal names".

Please tell me where the link is to print out the handout that Fritz refers to in the ten classes online called "Latin Handwriting" in the WIKI. In the first video he says it is located below the video link, but it is not there. It is a great series of classes and I would like to refer more people to it. Thank you, Alice DiMaggio

Alice, you could try clicking on Flag in your post which should take you to the Moderator and ask that your query be forwarded to the Help Center, as the series of Lessons originates from the Help Center https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/lessons/latin-handwriting-1-introduction

(I have no idea how to contact the Help Center directly)

I am not connected with FamilySearch but my own view is that the handouts probably vanished or were withdrawn years ago, and it is probably no one has any records of them now.
