Maurice,Sorry to add to the confusion re your COMAN ancestors, but do consider this as well:In researching my Conran ancestors, I've seen Conran and Conron incorrectly transcribed as Coman and Comon! There are plenty of these errors on the Ancestry website alone....A lower case "n" next to an "r" can be easily mistaken for an "m" in old handwriting, if the writer has completed the "r" with a vertical rather than a horizontal stroke, and especially if such an "r" is very close to the "n" that precedes it. I've faced this challenge myself while transcribing from microfilmed parish records; on a few occasions, it has been very hard to decide whether I'm looking at Conran or Coman... In this case, I have enlarged the image as much as possible and made sure the other names/dates/places listed in the entry are consistent with those I already know/suspect are correct.Not suggesting that your Comans are Conrans - just alerting you to the visual similarity of the two surnames and possibility of errors.Karen. _________________________________________________________________ Learn more ways to connect with your buddies now http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9734388
