How do you enter a surname when the family changes their surname?  I have a family that used the surname of Grillier for years on census, births, etc. Then they changed the spelling to Grier in 1887 and used that name on all further documents.  Have never found a legal court document for changing the spelling.  Do you maintain the name Grillier in you data base or do you change to the more current spelling.  I am at a loss.  Helen McCarthy ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LAORLEAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LAORLEAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I'm not familiar with PAF anymore.  I used it too long ago to remember. However, rule of genealogical thumb is to include all the variations of a person's name, spellings, nicknames, surnames. The program I'm currently using has a special feature for alternate names. (Legacy).  My old Family Tree Maker program allowed for addtitional names too but didn't really specify they were "alternate names". If ancestors carried the GRILLIER name until their deaths, I'd leave them like that.  For the ones who changed their surname, you might want to use the version with the most amount of records (obits, death certificates, children's birth records, Social Security, military, etc.) as the main name.  Keep older ancestors as GRILLIER, and the younger generations as GRIER.  Depending on when the name changed to Grier, there may or many not be a legal name change record, because in the olden days (not so long ago, really), it wasn't such a big deal to change the spelling of one's name as it is today. No matter which way you choose, but sure to notate they changed their spelling at some point, even if it wasn't by court order.

Not long ago, I got a message from some man who lives in Berlin who is a professional researcher. He had noticed my posting which inquired about the birth parents of Hermann Edward Lehmann and suggested I try a Protestant site since most Germans were Protestant in Berlin around 1805. I sent a message to them and they replied that they found nothing on the birth of my Lehmann, but they suggested that I try St. Hedwig Catholic Church in Berlin. I did that and sent a query, but they said they charged 35 Euro to do a search. I thought it wise to check other sources first before putting out that much money and not knowing if they would find anything of value. I was wondering if anyone else has been approached by a professional genealogist who lives in Berlin.....or can suggest another source? A cousin who has been on Ancestry.com for several years did not find anything on his birth record or parents.

Thanks for all the opinions on Ancestry renewal.  I've been a member since they started and love it.   I checked it out and the renewal amount is the same.  The e-mail notice for renewal I received lead me to think   it had gone up. My bad,  lol    Think I'll downgrade  though to just the USA, they haven't had any records for  the countries I   need.   Sally  ________________________________ From: Alice Hix <alicehix@gmail.com> To: laorlean@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 3:44 PM Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] Ancestry renewal When I take into account the time and money (for gas) that it would take to find the info somewhere else, I find their cost very easy to justify.  And it is so convenient to be able to check at any hour of the day or night. Works out to about 50 cents/day.

I renewed in April and it was the same price I've paid for years. Prices for U.S. and World memberships were the same. Of course, this doesn't mean I think the prices aren't expensive.  The good news is they have remained the same for years.

Great information. Through a friend, (Ann) I have learned a lot about my New Orleans ancestors, but nothing about my Michigan ancestors at all! Haven't checked on Indiana or Missouri, though. Does anyone have any ideas if they are listed?

I just renewed the price was the same as last year. I find them pricey anyway!

Is it me, or is Ancestry.com getting pricey even with their renewals?

Shelia, I'm echoing what the others have said, and I'll provide you with a personal instance that convinced me to subscribe to GenealogyBank.  I signed up for the $10 trial membership, then entered the name Collins, the additional word Millville, and searched the NJ papers.  I found a 1904 article, "Her First Birthday - Although Little Ethel Collins Is Eight Years Old."  This is an article about my grandmother who was born on Leap Year 1896.  That right there made me sign up for a full subscription.  Since then I've found several little articles about my 2nd great-grandfather and his farm, their family visiting others out of town, etc.  Some of those little articles provided family links I suspected but hadn't yet confirmed. I highly recommend at least a trial subscription.

However, she is having trouble finding an obituary for either of them. I checked the Louisiana Biography and Obituary Index on Nutrias.org, and did not find them there. I checked www.legacy.com, and did not find them there. It seems from Wikipedia.org that they were quite famous people. Were they well known by you people? Do you have any ideas about finding an obituary?

I agree that it is definitely worth the money. This site is mainly newspapers. I have found answers to many stories that I have always heard and wondered what the facts really were. Learned them on this site. Also found stories that I had not heard. Ancestry builds the bones of our ancestors and genealogybank adds the flesh.
