A year ago I sent a link to my website's Glossary of Colonial Terms to the
List. It turns out that it is the third most popular link on my history site
with the most frequently requested searches being requests like:
"define:forma pauperis",  "define:indentured servant",
"define:primogeniture", etc. This clearly is example of unintended
consequences for me.

Here is a link to my updated Glossary:

I have found the extensive glossary at the Archives of Maryland very useful:

Also, Tarver Family Research has a glossary of colonial disease terms:
