Hi Dee, This is not directly connected to your FOX family however there may be a connection back in Ireland. Zacharias GRIMASON son of John GRIMASON and Ann BURRELL of County Armagh married Elizabeth FOX daughter of John FOX and Elizabeth Mc CABE on the 26th December 1853 at Drumcree ,Armagh, Ireland. They were of the Church of Ireland Faith as far as I am aware. John FOX is listed as having been a Weaver on Elizabeth GRIMASON otherwise GRIMSHAW's death record when she died on 4th November 1916 aged 80 at Dennistoun, Glasgow, Scotland. Hope this may be of some assistance in tracing your FOX's back to Ireland. Bye the way I ma not directly related to this family they are part of my One Name Study on the GRIMASON surname. David

While not identical on the molecular level, each chromosome of a pair is functionally identical to the other. That is, if you line them up, the neighboring bits are the same gene (but possibly different alleles). During normal cell division, each chromosome is simply copied, and the daughter cells get one identical copy of each (barring mutation). During the cell division that creates eggs or sperm, however, the two copies of each chromosome get together and swap corresponding bits of DNA. This is called recombination, or jumping genes, and was discovered by Barbara McClintock. What it means is that neither of the eventual child's chromosomes exactly the same as either parent's DNA. This mixing is what gives rise to the great diversity of individuals, and is what makes sexual reproduction so successful. The X and Y chromosomes are different. They are different from each other, and behave differently. Only the tips of the smaller Y chromosome undergo recombination; the rest is passed intact to the eventual son. > which can be a process of repairing > and/or eliminating damaged segments along the way in each generation / > individual Repair of damaged DNA is a different process from recombination. > ... where as the so called "junk" DNA the sex-chromosome is > passed on as is, with only "slight" modification every now and then, > basically an antique relic from the past :) It turns out that only a fraction of our DNA is actually involved in coding for proteins (which is what DNA does). The rest is just nonsense, such as multiple repeats of short sequences, such as ATATATATATATATAT... . This is called junk DNA. It occurs on all chromosomes, not just the X and Y. > The "every now and > then" mutation rate ... can and "does" very from one family line/unit > to the next ... some more frequently than others :) The mutation rate is the same for everyone, and does not vary by family, as far as I know. -- Thomas M.

The question is still what exactly would a "house Chaperon" be. Google only returns 23 results for "house Chaperon", so the phrase is not in common usage today. What type of housing is it that needed a "house Chaperon"? Did the term only apply to a college dorm or fraternity/sorority house?

If the answer was readily available I would not be asking for an explanation.

If it is from a b-m-d record, I doubt it was a nickname. I think the common spelling would be Lucinda, but that's only my opinion. I also think that people spelled just as poorly in days of yore as they do today (if not worse.) Clerks, clerics, enumerators, etc. were not always much better educated than the general public. And if they came from a different country or even a different region of the same country as the respondent, they may have heard something other than what was actually said and jotted it down as it sounded. Standardized spelling is not that old of an invention. I have seen names in some records spelled two and three different ways! Besides all that, parents (even today) may have had a penchant to spell a name uniquely. A "cute" spelling, or whatever. Or even newly invented names - there was a lot of that going around. I have a cousin named JoHel, which is a combination of John and Helen - her parents' names. And let's not get into mis-transcriptions!

I just subscribed to ancestry.com and have reached a brick wall. I discovered by paternal grandfather (Jasper Bennett Ross) was born 28 Apr 1884, in Puerto Rico. He died 13 Jan 1972, in Hawaii. One of the documents he completed showed that his father (Fredrick Bennett Ross) was born in "Europe," and his mother (Josephine Rivera Villahermoza) was born in Puerto Rico. Despite searching everywhere, I cannot find any additional information. on my grandfather nor his parents. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many, many thanks in advance. iuki

But it may be Hardy, which seems to be common in Cap Santé registers in that time period. I don't see any Hardifs there.

John Fox of Cobourg, Ontaqrio, Canada. Husband of Ellan Christina Farry. The Canadian cencus records show him as head of house in 1901 but in 1911 the cencus shows his wife Ellan as head of house. Is their any way to find out how he died? Thank you. Dee
