I am able to copy and paste it into an html document which I will upload on to the Sri Lanka Genealogy Website under LISTS Section on Thursday. Fazli -----Original Message----- From: srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of rozmccutcheon@lineone.net Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 11:21 PM To: srilanka@rootsweb.com Subject: [SRILANKA] Dutch Widows - part one Am much enjoying the increased correspondence on the list recently - & especially appreciate the contributions of Coreen & Larry. When I sent a block from the Colombo Journal 1833 recently, I had many replies. Many were very interested in the List of Widows I'd noted from Jan 16th, & some offered to defray the cost of copying, as it seems the list is unavailable elsewhere in its entirety. I will paste in below the first section, - entries 1 to 100. I've prepared it in rtf, where it looks beautiful, but I know that when I send it, it will all squash together. Can anyone send me a brief guide on how to paste in text as it was orginally prepared, - please?!

Eric, out of about 4000 marriage records we have here and the other 1000s we have looked at, there are only 2 x 13 year old and 2 x 14 year old brides that we have seen. One was in 1762, and the others in the early 1800s. There are plenty of 15,16 and 17 year olds. We have a query on our own tree for a 10 year old bride, but of course we are going on non official records and cant prove it, one way or the other. Remember that most of the information for age are baptismal records, and if there is no manned church in the area a Circuit Minister could come once every year or two so that could deflate the age.The other thing that happened a lot was if the wife died in childbith and left children to look after, a female member of her family took up house to look after the children and the bereaved husband. Hope this helps. Larry&Coreen.

Hi there, Re;- the early marriages. I think many of us have these in our ancestry, I have one of 13 and one of 14. I have come to the conclusion that this is in some way to do with the 'army allowance' for children stopping when a child was 14, and in the case of my own family this brought about marriage for the girls and enlistment for the boys. A different world and life was in the main short. All the best- Lesley

Good evening I am hoping someone can answer a couple of question. As can be seen below Sri Lanka has had various names CEYLON Portuguese Serendib.Ceilão 1505-1650 Dutch 1650 -1796 Crown Colony 1796-1948 Dominion Feb. 4 1948- Sri Lanka May 1972 My first question is, what did the Dutch called the island during their tenure The second question is. Did some females married at an early age. I have a few who were under 13, and had children at fourteen. Is this possible? regards Eric

Thank you once again for all your hard work- still none of my Smiths but very interesting none the less- all the best- Lesley

Register of Marriages Maligakande Church 1902-1916 This is the smallest marriage list so we will start with it. Please note that this just a list of surnames and there are complete details on the film.We only have the film for 1 more week and want to get the deaths transcribed off it before it goes back.

Roz and list, beautiful work Roz, there is so much genuine original research going on by dedicated family genealogists out there that we could all benefit from. There must be a way for us to present the work so it is searchable and available for other listers to see. We, (Coreen&Larry) are setting up a free photo site a la Dr Beth Leembruggen-Kalberg's,( a bit of lateral thinking! ) for scanned images of pertinent documents and of course, a Family photo .It was great to put a pretty face to an anonymous Email name earlier in the week, and an understanding, supportive husband no doubt,too. .We will let the list know when the site is operational. We just want people to see what is available on LDS films so more researchers use this under utilised, and somewhat frustrating resource,and share their results. We have heard that Google has a spreadsheet site, is this an option for lists? Heres hoping for a suitable solution from someone with more computer nous than us, Cheers Coreen&Larry

Listers, to show the value of this film for research we will answer Laura's query with two printouts we took from film 1495574.film cost $5.00 printouts $2.00 Marriage Register No 91 Claude Vincent Ferdinands age 34 batchelor , burgher, clerk, 374 Serpentine Rd Borella Father John Henry Ferdinands, 3rd Landing Surveyor HM Customs married 7th April 1945, Dutch Reformed Church, Regent Street Colombo. Ezlynne Nesta Struys age 29 spinster burgher 1053 3rd Division Maradona Father Hector Bertram Struys Post master retired The Communion Roll for the Church shows Hector Bertram Struys 3rd Division Maradona Cora Nesta nee Jansz Ezlynne Nesta Joyce Myrtle Oswin Ronald there are birth and baptism dates for the 3 children, but you have to read off the film and transcribe the dates as they are impossible to read from the copies. We printed out this information because we knew some listers were interested. We were so pleased to get our 4 Anderson marriages and a listing for 2 of my living sisters in a communion roll What we as a group need to do is transcribe the film so all can see the data for free. We have most of the names off the films for marriages and communion rolls and have printed about twenty sheets of interest to our own research, but there are lots of marriages and deaths which would be of interest to numerous listers that we cant possibly transcribe in the 2 hours that our library is open each week. We ordered film 1495575 and hope to extract more marriages off it over the next month. We are still waiting on the Negombo Schooltombo to see if any Andersons are in it, and to see if Schooltombos have hidden treasures too. Cheers,and Good Night Coreen&Larry
