Names you just don't see anymore

[yn9man]

It gave me a propective on the lifestyle. as well as the outside influences (church, king, etc.).  So many times when gaining the basic information on my ancestors, that prospective escapes me in researching my family.   It helps to have an understanding of their life then and how it influenced those following. 

Happy new year - best of luck to everyone next year with their research.     RedFox   

Well stated RedFox.

Trying to understand their lives is one of the main reasons I enjoy researching my family history. The outside influences on their lives must have been tremendous. Imagine naming your children after significant events in your life.

mshrmh has just reminded me of a name we dont see often anymore here Ernest, but funnily enough its my brothers name only he has the spanish version Ernesto  needless to say he dislikes it so much he much prefers everyone to call him Ernie 

Also just remembered ( ) my mums name is Carmen another we dont see often except there were that many Carmen in her family when she was growing up she was always called by her second name Liliana

Happy New YEar people!!

[KathMc]

Liliana is a beautiful name. And my gg grandfather's middle name was Ernest. It made it easier to find him. He and his sister were the only ones with middle names, and I can't find two of his brothers partially due to the lack of middle names. 

Kath

[RedFox]

True, Kath.  It is only with the help of a middle name that I'm able to identify some my ancestors, along with other family members, year of birth, etc.  But the middle  name is vital.  Happy New Year to y'all.   Red Fox
