Anne, I have a related question: can I give someone a direct link to a Guild profile page? It seems that when searching the website for a particular name, the URL returned is "http://one-name.org/Results" Is there a way to point someone at a particular page rather than tell them to go to the home page and type the surname in themselves?

Hi Please read this email carefully. I am willing to do a Marriage Challenge for two churches in Liverpool Registration District and for limited dates as some of the marriages are already available on Ancestry. The two churches are: St Peter (Church of England) 1845-1906 St Nicholas (also called Our Lady & St Nicholas) 1882-1900 In order to find out if the marriages you have took place in either of those churches please check Lancashire BMD website and note the church within the request list that you send. The website address is lancashirebmd.org.uk If anyone needs any help using that website I can help but I will not be doing any other churches/dates at the moment. The closing date for requests is 30 April 2015. The results will be emailed as faux certificates. I look forward to receiving requests. Kindest Regards Susan Susan Atkins scotchmer@one-name.org

It was announced at the RootsTech conference that Family Tree DNA will be partnering with both Findmypast and FamilySearch. There are more details on Judy Russell's blog: http://www.legalgenealogist.com/blog/2015/02/15/dna-in-slc This is excellent news for all the many Guild members who have surname DNA projects at Family Tree DNA. This also reminds that some time ago now we were advised that the Guild was supposed to be forming a partnership with FamilySearch that would allow us to have our surnames linked in the FamilySearch family tree. There was an article in JOONS back in 2011: http://one-name.org/journals/volume-10/vol10-09/ Does anyone what happened about this arrangement?

Jennie The advertisement for a National Representative for New Zealand must surely be in error. There is already a position for a regional representative to cover the whole of New Zealand so there seems little point in having a National Representative as well. It looks to me as though the Situations Vacant page in the Members' Room has not been fully updated and some posts are included on the list that have already been filled. Looking back at the Committee minutes I see that the idea of National Representatives was introduced in an educational strategy document presented to the July 2012 committee meeting. http://www.one-name.org/members/minutes/2012Jul/AgendaWithLinks.pdf Here's a link to the relevant report: http://www.one-name.org/members/minutes/2012Jul/05ii%20Updated_country_based _analysis_July_2012.pdf In case the long link breaks here's a short URL to the report: http://tinyurl.com/oobx7tn There is no mention of a national rep for New Zealand though the possibility of a National Rep for Australia is discussed. The minutes record that the report was carried: http://www.one-name.org/members/minutes/2012Jul/Minutes_07Jul2012.pdf The National Rep posts, including a post for New Zealand, were subsequently advertised in the Chairman's newsflash dated September 2012. I know we now have National Reps for the USA and Canada but I can find no record of a National Rep for New Zealand ever having been appointed. The regional reps in Australia never saw the need for a national rep anyway so that idea was abandoned. As you obviously have lots of ideas and considerable experience with the media perhaps you can share your ideas with the regional reps in Australia and offer to help out.

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding was that the Guild has budgeted additional money to grow the membership in Australia/New Zealand and that was why they needed national reps for both countries - I guess to oversee how that money was spent.

Hi All, Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a conference at York University entitled: "England’s Immigrants 1330 – 1550 Resident Aliens in the Late Middle Ages "., during the course of which they introduced a new database: "England’s Immigrants 1330-1550, a fully-searchable database containing over 64,000 names of people known to have migrated to England". "The project is a collaboration between the University of York, The National Archives and the Humanities Research Institute, University of Sheffield .....and is a collaboration between the University of York, The National Archives and the Humanities Research Institute, University of Sheffield." The DB allows the use of wildcards and searching for an asterisk produces a total of 64773 records for the above period. It should be noted that included are immigrants not only from outside the current UK but also from Ireland, Scotland, and perhaps more puzzling, also Wales. The French total 4,564. compared with Scotland 3,355 and even fewer Irish. The website states: "The information within this database has been drawn from a variety of published and un-published records – taxation assessments, letters of denization and protection, and a variety of other licences and grants – and offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins, destinations, occupations and identities of the people who chose to make England their home during this turbulent period.". It should be added that it is searchable on any field. References are given for the Sources and although the images are not available I was assured that the details published had been checked and doubled checked, and they are very happy that they give an accurate transcription of the original data. I believe them :-). After the launch of the DB the conference was presented with a number of papers illustrating the use of it to show the origins of the immigrants and where they resided in England, their occupations. I was particularly impressed with the maps which perfectly illustrated the movement of the immigrants. It would be remiss of me not to draw attention to a two day lecture and conference to be held in London on Medieval Migrants to Britain between AD 500-1500 and their movement in Britain between 5th and 6th centuries. Thursday 26 March 6-7.30pm The British Academy, "Medieval Migrants: "On the move in Britain after Rome's Fall" Friday 27 March 9.30am-5.00pm The British Academy, "Aliens, Foreigners and Strangers in Medieval England c.

I have a number of adult baptisms when a family moved to a Suffolk parish to a Norfolk parish. They are recorded as being baptised privately or in the parish church Wroxham, Norfolk between 1777 and 1799. They are later recorded as being baptised & admitted to the congregation of St Margaret, Wattisfield in 1802. I t is noted in the register 'all baptized after birth'. I have frequently found that merchant seamen & military families often wait for the father to return so the baptisms can be several months or even years after the births. In our own family my mother was Unitarian and baptised & confirmed into the Anglican Church at the time of her marriage to my father who was C of E. This was in 1940. One of my brothers was baptised at home owing to poor health at the time of his birth in 1950. So there may be all kinds of baptism records! It is fortunate when the vicar records both the birth & baptism dates. Lauretta Harris 3434

Hi All, Further to Anne comment about being only 4 members in South Island, it should be pointed out that there are less tham 1 million people in the whole of the South Island which is roughly the size of England. Another 'snag' is that the 'Island' is divided by a range of mountain with very few passes through them so access to the 'West' coast from the east is not easy, mind you the journey is out of this world.

Ian You can apply for certificates for marriages which took place in Register Offices in just the same way that you can apply for certificates for marriages that took place in churches. I have many certificates for Register Office marriages. However, it would be good if the historic Register Office birth, marriage and death records could be digitised and made available through one of the commercial providers. I don't know if there are reasons why these have not been digitised, and I also await enlightenment! Debbie -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ian Preece via Sent: 15 February 2015 11:21 To: goons@rootsweb.com Subject: [G] Register Office Marriages - why no historic access? This is something I have accepted over the years, but never really understood the reason for it. If I want a marriage certificate for any of my family I can quite happily apply for and receive it unless of course they married at the Register Office. I could perhaps understand even if there was a time limitation, but why are no historic registers from the Register Office available for general public search, or even for scanning by the subscription-based companies? I am aware that on occasion they grant access for indexing projects (Herefordshire being a good local example for me). I assume they are simply retained by the RO - why are they not deposited in the same way that (most) parish registers are? I'm guessing there is a very obvious reason, I await enlightenment!

Does anyone have access to the Henbury St Mary Parish Registers? Or to the familysearch films of the same? ( or could point me to original images online somewhere). I have come across a christening record in FamilySearch.org for Rowena Fanny Ffarington Sinnott, that is transcribed as happening in 1873, however I believe this was an adult christening of a person of the same name born in about 1873 some time after her marriage in 1909. Rowena Fanny Ffarington Sinnott England, Bristol Parish Registers Name:Rowena Fanny Ffarington Sinnott Event Type:Christening Event Date:1873 Event Place:Henbury, St Mary, Gloucestershire, England Gender:Female Digital Folder Number: 004206808 , Image Number: 00035 This is a very uncommon set of given names, and the only Rowena Fanny Ffarington I have was actually born in about 1873 but with the surname Sampson-Way and married George Hall Sinnott in 1909 (so couldn't have been christened as Sinnott at that date). I have also come across another transcription error with the same folder and image references where George Hall Sinnott's burial is transcribed as both 1923 and 1938, when only the 1938 date is correct. I'm therefore thinking the transcriber of this image was having a very bad day with getting dates in the right columns, and what has happened is that this is an adult baptism some time after her marriage, and her birth year has been wrongly placed in the christening date column. There isn't any hurry to check this, but it would be useful to rule out the possibility that this christening is actually a hitherto unknown daughter of Rowena F F and George Hall Sinnott.

Hi - I agree. I've been on this booklist for a few years and there are some real gems.

This is something I have accepted over the years, but never really understood the reason for it. If I want a marriage certificate for any of my family I can quite happily apply for and receive it unless of course they married at the Register Office. I could perhaps understand even if there was a time limitation, but why are no historic registers from the Register Office available for general public search, or even for scanning by the subscription-based companies? I am aware that on occasion they grant access for indexing projects (Herefordshire being a good local example for me). I assume they are simply retained by the RO - why are they not deposited in the same way that (most) parish registers are? I'm guessing there is a very obvious reason, I await enlightenment!

Difficult looking for Sinnott/Synnott/Sennett as the early spellings were sometimes very different (Synad, Sennight, Seinnet, etc) but I did find a Henry Synok from Ireland 1440 who might be an interesting one to keep an eye on.
