Subject: Latin Anyone?
Date: 4 Oct 92 19:21:38 GMT
Organization: Mississippi State Univ.


I have the following Document, which looks like a Certificate of Baptism.
It looks like latin to me, but I don't know latin so it could be something 
else.

It looks like Joannes was born 16 March 1886 and baptized 28 March 1886.
The towm name looks like Andrejiwka.  Can anybody tell me the church
name, and what Mityk might be? (Parochia: Mityk)

Document has been folded in half then into thirds, the ??? are where
I could not make out letters ( and others may be missing completely)

I don't know about you...

But it costs me $5.00 just to park at UCLA....

The only thing that you can loose for $5.00 is your time....

We use the HP ScanJet IIc to scan text.  The OCR process is keyed from the

Greetings from Western Australia:

I am hoping someone could help me out with an urgent problem.  The
latest IGI doesn't arrive here until about December, at which time the
Morman libraries close down and reopen in January.  Then the waiting lists
to view these indexes will probably be six months.  I am looking for the
birth/christening date of Josiah Tibbs believed to be christened in about
1807 in ?Middlesex England or surrounding areas.  His father is believed
to be Joseph Ezra C.St. Luke, Old Street, Finsbury London on 16.3.1777.

Would there be anyone who could consult the latest IGI for these entries
for me please?  I do believe that some large libraries have a system where
you push in the name of the person(s) required (this is hooked up to the
Mormans) someway, and the system prints out for example the Tibbs' in
Middlesex.  Some of you may know what I am talking about.

As I stated this matter is urgent, as my father is extremely ill, and I
would like to give him this and anything else I can find, to tidy up one
side of our family tree which he has been doing for some years, but in
later years has been drawing a blank.

Many thanks to anyone who could help.  I will appreciate it.

Kind Regards

The Holy name Society -- is usually an organization within the local Catholic

The Workingmen's Benevolent Society -- is a common name for local private
service/insurance groups.  Workers usually united by ethnicity would pool resou
rces, paying dues in small increments every week.  The money would then be
usued to provide loans often for burial expenses and widows and orphans of
members.

Dorothy Boyd-Rush asks:

>Has anyone used Alpha Four to record the bits and pieces that don't quite
>fit --yet.  If so, is it satisfactory.

I set up a genealogy database this summer in Alpha Four 2.0.  I don't think
that I am capable of measuring its worth for this type of project. I know
that Alpha 4 is my favorite dbase program of all time because it is so
user friendly.

My database worked well, but I haven't used a real genealogy program like
Brother's Keeper, LifeLines, etc.  (Which I am anxious to try, but I can't
seem to get a hold of them).

Alpha 4 served its purpose, but it lacks the capability to print out tt's
and pedigree charts.  But it is and EXCELLENT program and until I have
access to a specific genealogy program, it will suit me just fine.

As to recording the bits and pieces that "don't quite fit --yet", I think
Alpha Four would be a good place to start.

Now that I've gotten my 2 cents into this conversation...

     Thanks for the information!! I have found that their are many  Marie-XXX
members of the family, and it sometimes gets confusing. I  had also heard that
Jette is more accurate than Tanguay, so your  comment confirms what I have
heard.
     I have had help at the archive that you mention from David  Gagnon,
another Roots member. Do you know him? I would welcome any  help that I can
get, as it would speed my research.
     I have traced the Quintin family this far:
     Jean-Baptiste Quintin m. Marie-Jeanne Delpue-Pariseau
          1/17/1695 at Varennes, Que.
     I have learned that Jean (or perhaps Joseph?) was a 'soldier of  the
Marine' belonging to the Langloizerie regiment. His parents were  named Claude
and Claudine. That is all I know of them. I can assume  that Jean arrived in
the Varennes/Repentigny area in the 1690-1694  time frame, as that is when the
regiment was brought from France.  Jean is also listed as being from St. Aubin,
commune de Plumelec,  Brittany, France. Another roots member in France is
trying to help me  on that end. I will send more, as my message space is
running short.PQ

 -> Every family has `em.  We may have started the ultimate thread.  When my
 -> grandparents/parents spoke of the matter, the spoke briefly and in hushed
 -> tones.  Marriage between cousins was taboo, even speaking of it was

.... etc.

This is so familiar!  I was stating to my mother about 3 months ago, that if I kept working at the pace that I was working on her family, that I would discover, in a joking manner, that she was her own cousin.  Sure enough, my great- granparents x 3 are first cousins.  Thus making my mother my cousin, myself my own cousin, my children my cousins, and my niece and nephew also my cousins.  As long as I don't find out I'm my own grandmother, I'll be okay ::grin::

However, the stories that I have heard throughout my research was this as well.

Not just because they wanted the families to remain close knit, but because the communities were also so small.  In order to prevent oneself from marrying a family member (other than brother/sister, of course), they would have to travel sometimes 40-50 miles to a different community, at which time, there wasn't the luxury of cars, etc. (amazing how advanced we've become in so few short years!), so, in lieu of going that route, they married cousins.

I also recently discovered, if I'm not mistaken on this, but one on my father's side of the family (a sister of the direct relative) married her own UNCLE, meaning that her own children by him were not just her children, but her first cousins as well!  ::sigh:: oh but what a tangled web we weave ::grin::

I just noticed in my July/August issue of "The Genealogical Helper" that
Everton Publisher's Inc is making Vol I and II of the Roots Cellar available
on-line.  It says it'll be available 15 September and I'm to watch my mailbox.

Well, I've not heard anything new and I haven't gotten my latest copy of GH.
Anyone know anything about this?

For those unfamiliar with the Roots Cellar, there are 1.3 million ancestor
names that have been contributed by researchers like you and I.  I've had
a lot of good luck connecting with researchers through this service.  To be
exact, I've made significant progress on 4 of my research lines through
contacting contributors.  It's kind of like the surname list in this group 
except much bigger.

If you have info, please post to the newsgroup/list so we can all find 
out what the deal is.

The Holy Name Society is still very much alive.  It is a world-wide lay Cath-
olic organization.  If you know which church your gggrandfather was buried
from in New Orleans, the Holy Name Society of that church may have records of
his membership.  You might even be able to get information from the diocesan
office (Diocese of New Orleans, in the yellow pages under "Churches, (Roman)
Catholic" or in the white pages).
