Researchers of the Newfoundland census for 1675 at Bay de Verde who had their hearts set on the name "ffalin" being the name Phalen will be disappointed. On the other hand, researchers into the name FABIAN will be happy to learn that this was written as "ffabin" and is the name Joseph Fabian of Wimborne Minster, Dorset, who was dead by 1723 when his brother Simon Fabian inherited the property in Bay de Verde.
