Church of England baptism records do not list God parents or sponsors, many the early ones do not even give the mothers name.

Have you looked at the original record in the parish register ?

I just recently was reminded of the need to look at the actual record, not just the index entry... my paternal grandparents marriage license in St Louis, MO gives her home address as being in Colorado, where my father wound up being born (I did not know that previously, never having met the man). Also, the Ancestry version of the 1940 US Census (released in 2012) misspelled his name, whereas the Family Search version had it right (I didn't realize that they were two different transcriptions prior to that)... for anyone doing research in the US.

Hi Bill Newborns were usually baptised within a few days up to a week but some weren't for longer, much longer in some cases Baptists prefer adult baptism for example Some infants who were not expected to survive were privately baptised at home, later being received into the church Listing of a father would be the father, I have never seen a godfather recorded in place of the father if thats what you allude to In the main birth records were not kept, baptisms were, much would depend upon the person recording the event, some entered a birth date as well, others didn't There will certainly be some who were never baptised but also some that were and the record doesn't survive or is wrongly recorded Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 07/04/2016 14:54, Bill Snipes via wrote: > I'd like to ask a couple of questions concerning research in the 15 > and 16th centuries.

You are unlikely to find any 15th century baptisms. Registers were not required to be kept until 1539, but these are extremely rare. After 1558 you are more likely to find a record, but from this date until the late 1600s, records are still fairly scarce, and there are gaps during the Civil War period.

Yes. Andy is correct.

I'd like to ask a couple of questions concerning research in the 15 and 16th centuries. In those days, were newborns Christened right away, or could Christening/Baptism be put off for several years? Also, when listing a father on a Parish document, could they be referring to the godfather? And, is it likely that  children were born, but for some reason birth records were not kept? Bill Snipe/Snyppe

An elderly neighbour has his family tree on an old computer, done some 10 years ago. He now has a new computer, an Apple and would like to know which software is compatible withis make.

There are two pretty good options: 1. MacFamilyTree This is software built specifically for the Mac, and is quite good. There is also a compatible application for iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) There is a demo version, and a full version ($49) http://www.syniumsoftware.com/macfamilytree 2. RootsMagic This is a popular Windows genealogy program, which has been ported to run on Mac. It is not really a native Mac program (it looks exactly like the Windows version), but seems to run well. There is a free version, and a full version ($29, I think), same as on Windows. https://www.rootsmagic.com/mac/ Both products, coincidentally, are at version 7. Hope this helps. -steve > On Apr 7, 2016, at 5:12 AM, June Parker via <yorksgen@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > An elderly neighbour has his family tree on an old computer, done some 10 years ago.
