If there is a document or record that you do not understand, before you ask someone else to look at it–review every term or word and make certain that you understand the meaning of each word. When looking at meanings, it is important to keep in mind any legal meaning for the word and the time period in which the record was created.

And look up any word for which you do not know the meaning.
