Loretta, According to the obituaries for Roy and Bertha Gearhart, the services for both of them were held at St. Anns Catholic Church. Does the church have a cemetery? Phyllis

Loretta, As Shelly mentioned, Garrett County Graves (1987) and Corrigendum (1995), both available from the Garrett Co Historical Society, are invaluable resources for any of us researching in the area. Many on the list have the publication, and have helped other researchers in the past. If you just tell us who you are looking for, I'm certain you will get a reply. Sincerely, Jon Marie

Months ago I saw in a URL in a list message that provided a translated names to American forms from whatever. Some of the "latinized" names are just foriegn names (i.e., German, Irish, Scotish, French). Can someone remember that site?????

I got them from the Md. Archives microfilm this June. I would like to transcribe them and post them, but old Baptism records of Catholic churches were latinized by the priests. So the first names were morphed into a Latin name. They were also hand written. So I have 2 concerns. 1., Reading the handwriting accurately., 2., Should I try to put the first name back into english or (I think this is what I should do) just try to spell the name out as written by the priest and let you out on the list decide whether it could be a name you are interested in. On a limited basis I can probably send a scan of individual records anyone asks me about. Also the words between the names are latin and I have picked up on some of them but not all.
