Want a laugh Jan? Every time I put a K into the search I get Keziah filled in, so I can't forget her even if I wanted to

[Jan42]

Ohhhh Nessie that did make me

[Burrow Digger]

There are Keziahs mistranscribed (or misrecorded) as Heziah, Reziah, Meziah, Keriah, Keviah, and so forth, but none corresponds even vaguely with Keziah . 

MR

I had my Keziah mistranscribed as KENAH in the 1851 (LDS) Census.

[Nessie]

Checked for Kenah Mason, that didn't work either

[Paul E]

Ah well ... its surely some consolation at least that a Google search for Keriah or Keria Mason now lists this thread as the 3rd out of some 500-odd documents.

Maybe someone will come across this thread someday and say 'That's my ggg grandmother!'

cheers

There was a young girl called Keziah
Who drove our poor blood pressure higher.
We sought and we sought,
But she would not be caught:
Keziah could not have been shyer!
