Europe / Re: Kuper Meister, Boettger - translation
« on: Thursday 06 November 25 18:23 GMT (UK) »
Küper is North German dialect for Küfer,
and Böttger presumably a variant of Böttcher,
both meaning cooper, though Küfer can also mean a cellarer.
Nothing to do with Kupfer = copper.

In the German provinces,
Katharina, Katharine, Katarina, Katherina, Katerina are more likely than forms with C.
Margareta, Margarete, Margarethe are the usual spellings.
Friederike is the usual feminine form of Friedrich.

Ireland / Lingard death: newspaper announcement?
« on: Wednesday 15 October 25 07:23 BST (UK) »
My tree shows Blanche Lingard dying in Dublin on 12 Nov. 1934,
which agrees with the registration of her death given by irishgenealogy.ie
But Findagrave gives her death one year earlier.
Was there perhaps an announcement in the Irish Times?
Would some kind soul be prepared to look?

Wikitree requires source references, so should be more reliable than fAnciestree,
where the only rule seems to be "anything goes".

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: 2nd cousin -- or perhaps not?

Thank you, Josephine.
The way genes are passed down is evidently even more random than I thought.

He is a grandson of my grandfather's youngest brother. I was wondering whether that brother was not a son of my great-grandmother, but they all continued living together as one apparently happy family.
Another possibility is that the sample of saliva was from one of his children, but submitted under his name.
