You're getting further than I have been able. I've only been able to get to the home page and have no idea how to proceed from there. I see a place to look up parishes only I'm supposed to know the Parish and I don't. That's about as far as I've been able to go. Am I going to the right site? Thanks so much for your info and your help. Loretta McDermott McGinn In a message dated 7/10/2015 9:19:57 P.M.

(My old Latin and English teachers would be proud of me, lol.) So that is why Michael is spelled differently twice: with the UM meaning he is the subject of the baptism sentence, and with IS which is the object (I think?). ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BEARA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BEARA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
