Europe / Re: Another translation from Alte Schrift
« on: Tuesday 13 May 25 20:31 BST (UK) »
I'm back again hoping someone can help me with this Moravian baptismal record from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I know the names here, my great great grandmother Catherine White daughter of William White dated 1815. I believe it states he was a book printer, but wonder if any of the additional words might give me a clue. He is ma mysterious man who seems to have disappeared after 1825 leaving his wife Anna Maria Schweitzer and a slew of children.
I'd be grateful for any assistance filling out the details of this record.

The Common Room / Re: Geneanet trees now coming up as suggestions on Ancestry

It's not just hint. Births, deaths, marriages all appear with nary a document or record. What's the point of research if it's undocumented? I can be maddening.

Bedfordshire / Poll Book Query
« on: Thursday 25 January 24 17:58 GMT (UK) »
I am researching a man, Tom, who was married in London about 1780. I can't find a baptism for him there, however one popped up in Bedfordshire (Dunstable). However unlikely I decided to look further. My fellow had his banns announced on the same day as another man George Christmas and my man Tom signed as a witness on that document. So why the connection? It seems a George Christmas was baptised the same year in Dunstable.
My question is really about the poll book from Bucks, that lists a George Christmas (he had a brother William the father of young George.
Con someone explain why a poll book from Bucks lists someone as living (?) in Dunstable. Here's a clip of the book.

A different certificate = but I'm hoping this poor reproduction could enable someone like davecapp[s to identify something more than just the names on this Moravian baptismal record for my gr great grandmother Catherine White.

Roscommon / Re: Davis of Roscommon

Thank you. My Davises were decidedly Protestant, alas. I've come to think my ancestor invented the Roscommon birth, plucking a county out of thin air.

Yes it's interesting that the brothers did not pay tax (in this case) nor did inmates.
