Hi All, As the instigator of the "What's in a name" I want to thank everyone who contributed responses to my inquiry and to all of the further inquiries and information given. I enjoyed it all and learned alot, as I'm sure most others did, as well. By the way, my family had said that a great grandmother was named Laine (sounds like Laynie) Well, she has been found in records as Helena (sounds like Helayna) We often have to read between the lines, the abbreviations, and the names that are used in one country and transferred to something similar in another country. And other time. Meg Nelson
