You are absolutely right on all of your points. A lot of times, I find that
people go by their middle name. I have also found, that many times, if
their father had the same name, they used their middle name. Yes, ages, I
have always stuck to the fact that it is an approximate age that you go by.
A lot of people were baptised together with younger or older siblings. I am
sure cost was the factor, or just their lives at that time, and so if there
wasn't a birth year on the document you just had to dig a little deeper.

I have learned that my Great Aunt Alice was actually baptized Elizabeth
Jane. She was called Alice in honour of a favourite aunt of hers, which I
have been told was often the custom back then.
I have also learned not to pay much attention to the spelling of names - our
ancestors did not always know how to read or write. They also did not
celebrate birthdays like we do, so you will often find different years of
birth for the same person.
I found a distant cousin in Texas, but it took some convincing before he
would believe that we are related. I had our GGG Grandparents as John
Corcoran and Catherine McDonald. He had Kate instead of Catherine. He had
one of their daughters as Lucy Marie and I had her baptismal name, Marie
Lucie. We did not have the same year of birth for Lucy, but we had similar
names for her brothers and sisters. He was finally convinced because he has
the treasured family bible which had the name of a son-in-law in it and I
had that same name in my tree.

Hi,
I just want to chime in on the Alma/Emma name. I had a relative who's name
was one or the other depending on what day of the week it was. Sometimes
she was clearly recorded as Alma and sometimes clearly recorded as Emma.
When looking at scratching handwriting it could be read as Anna. Think it
depends on who's doing the speaking and who's doing the listening. :) I
have another relative who had 4 distinct and completely different aliases
that could not by any stretch of the imagination or handwriting be confused
with the other.

Hello Again,
Yes, that would be a good idea, to get a reduction in our membership for
all the corrections that I have made. Even looking at something for my
family, I have found mistakes due to transcripton and sent them in.
So, you don't think that is their marriage in Maine, then, and also the
obituary of a Ginette PARADIS from Sherbrooke, stating parents Rose-Emma and
Ovila PARADIS isn't connected to them? They actually have an address there.
