Today I got a letter from a cousin in Australia who had been reading a film in her local LDS library.Three terms had her puzzled namely umquil,indweller and sorbitor or in the case of a female sorbitrex. I know the meaning of umquil and indweller but what is a sorbitor/sorbitrex? The example she sent me was "Robert Logan sorbitor to Langlands" Check out my family history website at www.btinternet.com/~fraser.hamilton2 ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Probably 'servitor' in 18th century writing. Meaning is a secretary or clerk.

Hi Fraser I suspect she has misread the word Servitor, which means an apprentice to a Judge or advocate, or sometimes a Secretary. A Servitrix was a Lady's maid or female servant.
