Hi Folks, Something I've come across several times now and so I don't think its a misprint is the 'abbreviation' 'Jno' where a christian name would be expected. Is this an abbreviation for 'John'? Pete
Hello again, Courtesy of Elizabeth McMillan on another rootsweb list, what looks to a definitive answer to the what the abbreviation 'Jno.' stands for." Jno.(or Jno) is an abbreviation for Johannes, which is the Latin equivalent of John, (NOT Jonathan)."
