    1. Hanna Family / Writing Convention

    3. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hanna, Malone Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HiB.2ACI/2727 Message Board Post: I was fortunate to be in the Nashville area this past week and spend a couple of days at the Sumner County courthouse archives. I was thrilled to discover an original pamphlet entitled "Second Reunion of The Descendants of James and Susan Bryson Hanna held at Bethpage, Sumner County, Tennessee, April 17th, 1891." James and Susan and my third-great-grandparents. The booklet has a ton of great information but I was puzzled by a writing convention that I hope someone can explain to me. In the genealogy record at the back of the pamphlet, one of the entries states: Georgia Tompkins (nee Johnson) was born March 19, 1851, and was married to John Wesley Malone January 4, 1883. The "nee" is in italics. Can someone kindly tell me what this convention means? Thanks.

    3. It means BORN. You have here a person who was born Georgia Johnson who previously married someone named Tompkins, prior to her marriage to John Wesley Malone. If you are hunting for her parents, look for Johnsons not Tompkins.
