Thanks for correcting that Gary - I see I chopped it off! It's a great place to look for alternate name suggestions though.

Thank you to everyone for their help! I did check in the SSDI and found a lot of PURKEYs listed, so am starting to wonder if it might NOT be F-C. Of course, can't really discount ANY alternatives until they've all be fully explored.

Bren - Take a look at the surname variation page at www.afgs.org I looked through it a little, and didn't see PURKEY, but there is PERKIE (1) Perkie Larivière (1) Perkie LaVallée The (1) referes to names listed in the book "French-Canadian Names: Vermont Variants - by Véronique Gassette" published by the "Vermont Historical Society" Montpelier, VT.

You forgot one on the list which also comes from that book. PERKIE = PAQUETTE Funny thing is that PERKINS = PAQUET yet Paquet & Paquette are both pronounced the same way today. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 10:16 AM Subject: [ILSTANNE] re: Purkey? > Bren - > > Take a look at the surname variation page at > www.afgs.org I looked through it a little, and > didn't see PURKEY, but there is PERKIE > > > (1) Perkie Larivière > (1) Perkie LaVallée > > The (1) referes to names listed in the book > "French-Canadian Names: Vermont Variants - > by Véronique Gassette" published by the > "Vermont Historical Society" Montpelier, VT. > > Lisa > [email protected] > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brenda Hébert" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 12:20 AM > Subject: [ILSTANNE] PURKEY? > > > > Salut!

May I suggest that it is POURQUÉ. I don't personally know of such a surname, but if there is such a name, it would be pronounced and written as PURKEY by Anglos. Just a shot in the dark.

I agree... That PURKEY is a toughie. The closest I can find in my database is the name PERTHUIS (pronounced PAIR-TWU-EE --- actually TU-EE but the TU is a sound not said in English so you would have to be French to know how to say it). BTW... LALIME is a "dit" name for PERTHUIS (silent "s" ). One thing I have observed is that the sound THIER is often written by anglophones as CHY or KEY (as in GAUTHIER).

Merci Gary, Sounds interesting......I'll give that a try Carol Anne

A good tip I found on the LALONDE List ********************************** A little hint you may find very useful, courtesy of the Executive Officer, Heather Garnsey, at the Society of Australian Genealogists in Sydney, NSW!! Many of us are familiar with the www.familysearch.org site and its online searches, but you may not know of the ability to search via batch number using the International Genealogical Index. Have you ever found an ancestor on film, ordered the film, then searched and searched through it looking for other members of the family?? Really hard work, especially if the eye sight is not too good! Well try this: First of all you MUST have found an ancestor's record on the IGI and it MUST BE from a Parish Record - NOT information someone has submitted. A GENUINE Parish Record extraction will have an upper case M or C preceding a number in the Batch Number section of the Source Information on the IGI record. No M or C?? You need not read any further, as the record has been submitted by someone instead. Select "International Genealogical Index" from the left hand panel. Select "British Isles" (for example) from the region section, and type in the Batch Number from your ancestors sheet. NOTE: you DO NOT put in their name - if you do you only get their record. By just selecting the region, and adding the batch number, and selecting Search, you will bring up everyone on the IGI who has been extracted from that specific parish register!! An example I just tried: Batch number M111102, British Isles, (taken from the sheet recording my GGG grandparents marriage) displays the other 1120 marriages recorded on the film from the Duirinish Parish, Inverness, Scotland - so you need not go blind looking for marriages of your ancestor's relatives!! BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!! By following the same procedures, BUT CHANGING the upper case M to a C - eg for the above: C111102, brings up 2430 Christenings/Births in the Duirinish Parish!! I spent HOURS looking through this film for the christenings/ births of my ggg grandparents' children - but NO luck - so I got excited this morning - BUT no luck again - so perhaps their children were not christened. And a final word: look through very carefully - spelling variations and alphabetical order are problems!! For example McNEILL comes AFTER such names as McPHEE, McQUIN, MORRISON and MUNROE!!!

Salut! Hi! I have a question -- in doing research on the PRAIRIE line, I came across the surname PURKEY from Momence. I have been wracking my brain all day trying to figure out WHAT French-Canadian name that could have been originally. Alphonsine PURKEY married Jesse PRAIRIE. She was the daughter of a Joseph PURKEY.

Found posted on the ONTARIO LIST.... A web site called "How Much Is That" The site helps to calculate historical purchasing power of money including labour costs, inflation rates all kinds of things from 1700's to now. Should help those trying to calculate how rich (or poor) their ancestors were by calculating their income or living expenses in today's dollars. http://eh.net/hmit/
