This information typically includes the name of the funeral home and the name of the person who provided the information for the death certificate. The name of the informant often gives a clue as to how accurate the family information might be. It might be worth requesting an actual photocopy of the certificate. Bruce

Good Afternoon, Michelle... Two suggestions -- if you know the funeral home that handled his arrangements, they would more than likely have a copy of any obituary and identify the newspaper it was printed in. Don't be surprised if there is no obituary, but, perhaps a death notice. I've found many death notices, but, very few obituaries. Most families would not pay for an obituary, whereas a death notice was usually published free. The cemetery where he is/was buried may also be able to identify the funeral home that handled the arrangements. It is much easier to try to find the newspaper from the funeral home than try to guess which paper it may have appeared in. Both the funeral home and cemetery should have a significant amount of information about attendees, other family members buried, ownership etc. Don't be afraid to ask...some will be very helpful and some cite some issue of privacy.

Joseph Rosario Robillard. b. 22 Dec 1894 Lowell, Middlesex, Massachusetts d. 18 Oct. 1945 Bronx, Bronx, New York. Joseph Rosario Robillard was the son of Joseph Arthur Robillard and Philomene Foucher. He was brother to Joseph Heria, Fabiola, Anita and Antonio. He was also the husband of Noella Thurber(Henry, Virginia ?). Any children that Rosario and Noella may have had are unknown to me. Joseph Rosario Robillard died in a VA hospital in the Bronx, NY. I have his death certificate information. It states that he was a resident of North Grosvenordale CT at the time of his death and also a loom fixer. In the Repertory of Burials of St. Joseph Catholic Church (1872-1990), North Grosvenordale, Connecticut, Pg. 510. it states he was buried in the St Joseph Cemetery in North Grosvenordale on 23 Oct 1945. Joseph Rosario had many relatives in the North Grosvenordale CT area as well as in Lowell, MA. In fact, in 1946 his remains were moved to St. Joseph Cemetery, Chelmsford, MA. Section c, lot 12. I have searched the Lowell Sun archives for his obit in and around the 18th of October 1945 but I came up empty handed. I have also been searching for a microfilmed archive of newspapers that may have been popular and published in 1945 in the area of North Grosvenordale CT but I have not been able to find any such archive. Any suggestions or help leading to the publication of Joseph Rosario's obituary would be greatly appreciated. Thanks : ) Michelle

I see what you mean. I'd thought about adding Associations, but the problem remains the same in both cases: you adding people to the database for whom either data exist in another database, or none exist, and for the overall contents of the database need not to exist (not part of the family whatsoever). Another remark to your proposal: the result seems (as I understood you) like adding another set of "parents", but with relation "sponsored". I wonder how other people not closely related to these particular persons might interprete this? To me it could convey the idea of something like a "long distance adaption" like Foster Parents Plan??? Tx anyway for your effort.

To get your opinion how to handle this: I am maintaining 2 family databases that my late mother started: her family (Watteeuw) and my father's family (Viaene). In previous versions of Gramps (1.X) it was possible to register (as godfathers and godmothers f.e.) people that were not in the database properly speaking. So when I upgraded, a lot of these records were lost (really lost or replaced with references to empty records, both occurred). Now I wanted to restore these infos, but then I hit the problem that the "Watteeuw" uncles and aunts do not appear in the "Viaene" database. If I import these people mutually then I could resolve this for myself and my brothers and sisters, but if I want to do this for my father sister (who married into another family) then ....... Beside that, godfathers and godmothers are even not always uncles and aunts, but very close friends , so these do not really play an important role in the whole family tree, just beside the one single person for who this is important. I logged a bug for this problem, but it was rejected. How do other tools record this? How do you (would you) handle this? Merging the two databases together is something that I think not very handy and would only resolve half the problem as I see it.

Well, I'm quite sure my previous reply digressed from OP's post. I admit guilt, but not remorse. I guess I'll follow precedent and digress again, but it's somewhat loosely related:::::: I have come across men (let's say pre-1810) who had odd middle names---not after family surnames, but more like a place name in that county. And his brothers would have no middle name at all. The story is (given by a reliable source that of course I can't remember) that a few times when there were multiple names of, say, William Smythe, in the county, to avoid confusion in tax lists, etc., the county recorder would arbitrarily add to the name for clarification. So that the older William would remain William Smythe, but the younger (who might be his nephew or cousin) might be scribed on some docs as William Bradford Smythe--because he owned the grist mill at the Bradford River, for example. Which clarified for the court recorder and for those at the time, but muddies the water for us researchers. Come to think of it, today we might do that verbally. For example, we had in our small school district two teachers named Sue Taylor. We referred to one as "Sue Evans Taylor," because she taught at Evans Elem. Our inflection and a slight gesture [no jokes please] indicated what we meant, but in a written note to one another, it might seem to a third party forty years later that the one Sue actually had the middle name Evans----and of course off the researcher would say "Eureka!" and be off to dig for a maiden name of Sue Evans. Second thing I learned from same forgotten but reliabe source:::::::: Let's say once again that the county has two William Smythes. Instead of throwing in a place name for clarification, the recorder might arbitrarily add "I" or "Sr." to the name of the older man and "II" or even "Jr." to the name of the younger man. When, in fact, they were uncle and nephew, not father and son. So, I've found it comforting to know that even in original image court documents, the names may not be what they seem, and relationships may not be what they seem. "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion." :-) Warmest Regards (and greetings to Bob M. in El Paso---hope he's a native Texan :-) Donna
