In the 1901 UK census, my grandmother had a sister named Minnie. When I located her UK birth cert, her given name was Minerva Regards, Ben MacDonald Glendale, Arizona -----Original Message----- From: Pat [mailto:bill-pat_galovich@telus.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 10:27 AM To: IRL-CORK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Forename "Minnie" How about "Minerva"? _____ From: IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 2:03 AM To: IRL-CORK-D@rootsweb.com Subject: IRL-CORK-D Digest V06 #51 ==== IRL-CORK Mailing List ==== Support RootsWeb in data acquisition http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html ============================== Search the US Census Collection.

There have been a few Minnies I have known and 2 in family data and all were the given name - it wasn't a nickname or diminutive~ Kathleen On 3/21/06, Pat <bill-pat_galovich@telus.net> wrote: > > > > How about "Minerva"? > > > > > > > > > > _____ > > From: IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com > [mailto:IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 2:03 AM > To: IRL-CORK-D@rootsweb.com > Subject: IRL-CORK-D Digest V06 #51 > > > > > > > > ==== IRL-CORK Mailing List ==== > Support RootsWeb in data acquisition > http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html > > ============================== > Search the US Census Collection.

I assume, Kathleen, that Minnie was what was recorded - but regardless of that fact, it is still a pet-name for Minerva. Btw, does anyone know what 'Maisie' ought to be? Female pet-names - something else, eh? ****** Replies To The List Only, Please ****** Padraig Mor An Sean Gabhar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Bowen" <kathleen.bowen@gmail.com> To: <IRL-CORK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 12:55 PM Subject: Re: Forename "Minnie" > There have been a few Minnies I have known and 2 in family data and all were > the given name - it wasn't a nickname or diminutive~ > > Kathleen > On 3/21/06, Pat <bill-pat_galovich@telus.net> wrote: > > How about "Minerva"? -- ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
