Hi Jane, You are quite welcome and I was happy to help. I am a handwriting specialist – able to read scripts from all centuries back to 12thC (with and without Latin). So, if you find you’re stumped, or would like a line deciphered as a key to unlock the handwriting, I’d be more than happy to help, again.

Hi Sue Thank you so much, that is a very kind offer. I’m just plodding on but might just take you up on it if I’m completely stumped. But you might help with the following quick question I have a Will with Probate clause and have mostly worked it out because there are standard phrases. However, there is one word which is niggling me in particular. It comes after the ‘Probatum fuit’… etc. So after ‘apud London coram’ is the word ‘magro’ which is followed by a name ‘William..o’. I’m fairly sure I’m right about the letters and am wondering if ‘magro’ is an abbreviated synonym for ‘worshipful’ as in magistrate? Think handwriting is a lovely thing to specialise in.. especially for family history. I have found quite a bit of help online for basic letters and there are a couple of sites which have mini tutorials, such as TNA. Trouble is, I am too easily distracted and then start investigating the whole history of palaeography which is completely fascinating. That would be years of study! I then can’t decide if I should concentrate on english or latin.. and dither around attempting to do both. However, I am currently trying to discipline myself to work on secretary hand, which seems to cover most of the documents I am likely to come into contact with. I just wish someone had told the scribes not to add their own individual flourishes.

Better change that subject line or they will be passed over. Thank you, Edna - Ottawa

Hi Jane I think you’ll find this is one of those annoying abbreviations in Latin. I think It should be ‘magistro’, the singular ablative of magister, or ‘by master’ William, in this case, in English. The lawyers in the PCC were addressed as Master so-an-so. You may find some sort of mark in the original that would (should) mark the use of the contraction.

Hi John Thanks, yes.. bit annoying, but I’m really only just starting to pick up some legal Latin. Hopefully with experience I’ll be more familiar with these abbreviations and their variations. As I was saying to Susan, I’m tying to learn to read old english documents as well as Latin and there just isn’t enough time in the day to do both .. wish I’d done Latin at school, at least I’d have some grammar.

I think that "Church Latin", or whatever it's called, was a long step from classical Latin.

As a volunteer, I work for the local library book shop. We have received quite a few of these disks, which we would like to sell. Will they still be able to work on the new computers using Windows 10, etc. Thank you, Edna - Ottawa

But surely the 1881 census for England and Wales is free on Family Search? Adrian

Adrian, Many people are not always aware where they can obtain the Census for free. Some people might not be on the Internet and want to have their own disks. Edna - Ottawa -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Bruce Sent: Friday, October 19, 2018 7:07 PM To: Devon Rootsweb Subject: [DEV] Re: 1881 British Census & National Index Disks - a Question? But surely the 1881 census for England and Wales is free on Family Search? Adrian

Hi Edna, When I updated to Windows 7 some years ago I contacted FamilySearch support about the possibly of using the Family Resource Viewer with the 1881 census and other disks, and received this response. "Thank you for contacting FamilySearch about upgrading your PC to Windows 7. When you upgrade to Win 7 you will need to upgrade your Resource File Viewer (RFV)if it is model 3 or less. If you need to do this please send us your mailing address, which includes: Your Full Name, Street Address, City, Province, Postal Code, Country, and Phone Number. This service is free. In the mean time, you will have to remove any previous RFV installations before you transfer anything from the old system to the new. Our RFV only has one processor speed and that is 32 bits. To answer the question as to whether the RFV will work with a 64 bit processor, the answer is no. But, there is a workaround. You need to run Win 7 at a 32 bit speed. Make sure, before you buy that new system, that it can be made to run at 32 bits. Microsoft has a program called "Virtual PC" which can do it. Then when you want to view your discs you have the tools to do it. You can also view the 1881 British Census without worrying about browser speeds by accessing it in our FamilySearch Internet (FSI) at www.familysearch. org. You can also find several British Census and other record files at FSI. Let us hear from you if you need an RFV, and we will order it as soon as we recieve the mailing Information. Hope to hear from you real soon. Sincerely, FamilySearch support@familysearch.org" From that response you probably couldn't use it on most newer PCs which include 64 bit versions of Windows. I use software called VMware Workstation so that I can run a 32 bit version of Windows within my current 64 bit version of Windows, so that I can run many older index disks etc. which will only run under 32 bit versions of Windows. I never got around to trying to install the RFV and 1881 Census disks etc. in the "virtual PC".

Edna, This may be useful https://getsatisfaction.com/familysearch/topics/1881-census-cds which is "Community-powered support for FamilySearch". The disks themselves contain instructions on haw to copy them all to a hard drive and save constantly changing the disk. Although the data is now online with FMP, Ancestry, FamilySearch etc. I found the disks more flexible when search places and areas for local rather than family history. Cheers Paul P.S. I have found that Family Historians are not the quickest to update to the latest technology. -----Original Message----- From: Edna Marlow [mailto:liverpud-49@rogers.com] Sent: 19 October 2018 22:28 To: devon@rootsweb.com Subject: [DEV] 1881 British Census & National Index Disks - a Question?

Hi all I am not at all sure about that. When I looked there was a need to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system and Family Search no longer supported that and there was a company that was supposed to do it and then I couldn’t find them or an update . . . That link amounts to “its all on-line now”. I personally would like to have the disks on my computer now memory is so much cheaper, but I never found a solution I was savvy enough to understand-oh, and BTW I am up to date on computer software. The issue here is that I need to find an old one with a 32 bit operating system. I am now on Windows 10 so talk of Windows 7 is useless to me!! Bah humbug, anyone want a lot of disks as bird scarers . . .

Jon Windows 10 will execute 32 and 64 bit programs. In fact there are not many programs that have been upgraded to 64 bit outside Office. If you look at your root directory you will see amongst the directories "Program Files" - 64 bit programs and "Program Files (x86)" - 32 bit programs. If you have problems you can always right click on the exe file and run the compatibility troubleshooter. This will solve most problems but there will always be an exception but I don't think the 1881 census is one of them. I think the 1851 test release was one that didn't make the 21st century.
