Edie, It was apparently quite common for entries in Catholic Church registers to use a Latinised version of the names of the individuals. All the clergy would have been familiar with Latin. I think you can safely accept that "Josephus" is the same as "Joseph". Whether the information you have relates to your ancestor is another matter. Not sure what "Laurentii" translates to - maybe "Laurence"? "Sera" is most likely "Sarah". Not sure whether this practice was standard throughout the Catholic Church, peculiar to particular regions or sections of the church, or maybe just a few individual priests expressing their intellectual prowess. I've come across it a couple of times and read about the practice somewhere, but can't remember where. -- Regards Mike Hurburgh --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Peggy, I think this is a different family, but who knows maybe related back in time. Interesting they were Christian Israelites as I guess we may have to keep that in mind for ours as well, or Irish Hugenots as there were plenty of those in Ireland Edie ----- Original Message ----- To: "AUS Tasmania" <aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2014 6:46 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-Tas] Joseph FLOOD, born Dublin c1763-1808, convict per "BODDINGTON" arrd NSW 1793 from Cork. > > I have FLOOD in my family tree. > Fredrick Swift FLOOD, born about 1835.
