Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion on First Names. Very helpful indeed. It definitely appears that Gertanda was an error on someone's part. It could have been the priest who first recorded name in the baptismal record, or the priest who researched the families in 1986 .... or even someone else along the way. I would think that the only way available today to clear this up would be to view the baptismal register directly. This leads to the next question: How to gain access? Does any one know if the baptismal and marriage registers for Borovnica are available somewhere on microfilm? Is Borovnica a single parish ... or are there several parishes that comprise Borovnica? It is likely that the parish records are in Latin??? [I hope!] I have looked at the holdings list for Slovenian church records in the LDS Family History catalog, and see nothing listed for Borovnica. Any ideas? Again, thanks so much for everyone's help ... very interesting and enlightening. [And, I thought that English had its challenges!] BTW, if any one needs some insight on Irish or New York City research methods ... feel free to contact me. Best of good luck in your research.
