Does anyone know if, In 1897, were burial permits required in Chemung county? If so who issued them and where would I look for a copy? I have fould a grave with just the name and date of 1897 on the stone, but the cemetery records don't show a date of death or date of burial. Help is appreciated.

I have found this numerous times and it did not seem to be of any particular nationality or religious faith. One of the Vanderpool men in my files gave one of his daughters something like 7 first names. Each name was for one of his sisters.

Its not just a 1700's and 1800's thing. There are many people today walking around with 3, 4 and in one case I am aware of 5 names. Just last year, my last nephew born in October received four names. This was to appease the grandparents on both sides and prevent a family "rift". The parents were simply trying to appease all and still keep the name THEY wanted. And the names that he has, are not family names. They are Biblical names. So trying to maintain peace amongst the relatives may have been and still is another reason. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Nenno [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 6:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tri-Counties] names Right, the middle name(s), if any, could also honor non-ancestors: people the parents admire.

Would Rhonda Box please contact me regarding Josephine Wood. On 8 Feb 2002 you enquired about Josephine's family. I may have some information for you regarding her possible father. Pat Wainwright of Erin, New York

Dear List, Please forgive me, this is not necessarily genealogy. My mother, age 94, came to live with me last September. I kidnapped her from the nursing home after she broke her hip and was placed there. She is very absent minded and has misplaced an invitation to the Elmira Heights High School reunion, which I believe is sometime in August. Her class, 1927, is being honored, if MY memory serves me. She does not plan to attend but would like to write a note and perhaps renew contact with any classmates who might be left. We haven't a clue who to contact. If anyone has this information, or is attending this reunion, please email me privately (and not the list). We would appreciate it - very much!! Thanks, Joyce in Maine

Sorry it took so long to answer back, we had a storm and knocked out electricity. Thank you all for helping me on the names. I wasn't sure if it was another research lead or not. This is a great list and I recieved several good messages. Thank you all. Nancy Hicks ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

The Old Clark Homestead, which is described as being 'at or just below Academy Corners, Pa' in Deerfield Township, where Eleazer Clark lived with his first wife Abigail Armstrong and 2nd wife Rosamond Salisbury (5 children from each marriage) : Can anyone tell me EXACTLY where the location of the Homestead was ? And does anyone know what is on that site today ? Thanks for any info! A Gr-Gr-Gr-Gr Grandson of Eleazer Clark

Jerry VanDuzer, Please send me a message. Marolyn Campbell Cole.

Right, the middle name(s), if any, could also honor non-ancestors: people the parents admire.

The Lutherans in Mecklenburg and Pommern areas in northeast Germany (before 1945) had as many as 6 to 8 given names, whereas in the Saarland in southwest Germany, across from France, a Catholic strong hold, almost no one has 2nd given name on birth records..... oh, well...

Thank you. Now does anyone know who John Drown is and if Cyrene had siblings. Does anyone have any inf on any other Drowns for example the Samuel that is mentioned in the Susquehanna Papers. Is John related to Wm of Litchfield Twp, Bradford County who disappeared in a blizzard of 1803 and the James and William Drown who are in Bradford County in 1820and years following.

I'm a new subscriber. Searching for info on Samuel Gardner, born about 1815 (probably in PA), who married Eliza Ann Buckams in Windham, Bradford Co., PA in 1847. I think she was born in 1826/1827, and was the dau of E. L. Buckams and Mary Ann. Samuel Gardner migrated to KY and showed up in the 1850 KY census. Any info will be appreciated.

It was usually done to honor ancestors. For instance, one of my 3rd-great-grandfathers was christened Robert Stidham Smith Walbridge. Stidham and Smith were his maternal grandparents' names. One of his brothers was William R. S. Walbridge. (I don't know what the R and S stand for; probably Richmond -- a grandfather's middle name -- and Smith.) They do help track down and connect people. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 08:36 Subject: [Tri-Counties] names > Does any one know why in the late 1700's early 1800's some people have 4 > names , such as Alexander Hamilton Phyllip Hicks?

Nancy, There are no stupid questions!, we often say in the world of librarians. A quick look on the Internet shows that it is, or was common to give children 3 first names in parts of Germany - "most often the names of their godparents, not their parents"; it may be common among Jewish people; some people think it is magic to have 3 names; some think it is bad luck; common in the Bahai faith; some American Indian tribes do it; common in the South (Alabama for one); Ghanaians often have three first names; some Irish have 3, sometimes all saint's names; some parents name their kids this way (according to the grown up kids) for "fun"; and all this by searching "three first names" (with the quotes) on Google. Maybe this doesn't help, but at least it was a fun question!
