Thank you for all the information you sent me, looks like I'm going to be a very busy boy over the next few weeks.



Years friend, it takes years - new stuff on the web , new archives indexed or discoverd.

Apart from my two brothers, who like me have no knowledge of our father's early life or his family, before he married our mother and I have no other relatives to get any info from; do you have any advice on how I can be sure the people that I put in my family history are my relatives.

Slowly build up evidence

I was thinking about that, I have the Jones problem in Raglan MON
when a Jones marries a Jones once I'm back behind my personal knowledge or family papers I am in the same position as you

Collect the death certificates of the difficult people
the informant might be a close relative
the place of birth could be incorrect, and the age too

look at local archives and local newpapers
electoral rolls sometimes give the previous address

The only way I can be certain of the Jones will be by making a one place study of all the Jones in Raglan from 1880 backwards
in your case this will help

will help me too :-) so 8 years 3 months to go and I will be 76 years old

I brought some books on genealogy but they don't seem to cover this sort of thing. Any suggestions or advice on clarifying family members or the best/good books to get on genealogy for a beginner would be much appreciated.


read the webpages on www.familysearch.org
many good guides

visit a family history centre near you

Was your father married twice ?

You may have knowledgable half siblings or cousins

good luck

Can you please help me?
I got my father's birth certificate, from where I found his parents first names, which enabled me to trace their marriage certificate, this gave me their ages.
Now comes the bit where I need some advice. I went on Family Research Link. Original indexes of Births, Marriages and Deaths for England and Wales from 1837 to 2001.
where I found three entries that could be my grandfather Thomas WHITBY and I also found quite a few that could be my grandmother Edith JONES. Is there a way of finding who of these entries are my real grandparents? I've attached the full details front Marriage Certificate in case it is of any help. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

now that is a really well formulated question.

Jones is a BIG name and it is all to easy to get a wrong certificate

the answer is to find the family together in a census and how old the parents are and where they are born

Where Is My Character?
why I am strugging with foreign words in blogger

Dansk Data Arkiv

keeps opening the English version when I want the Danish

I have contributed to them my first transcription from the Danish Census of 1860

Census 1840;
county or Amt: Thisted;
district or Herred: Hassing;
Parish of Bedsted;
Indtaster: Hugh Watkins; -tast = key in Danish and Ind = in and -er is as in sailor tailor biker etc)
543 people DDA-14790 -- my number and the file number -- C6220;

Now i wanted to do an extraction of the historic housing estate where I lived BRUMLEBY in Copenhagen

But I got given the whole darn quarter which will be 20 or 30 thousand names in scraggly quill penned gotisk hand writing.

FT; 1860;
county or Amt: København;
District or Herred: København COPENHAGEN
(Staden) = market town or borough
Udenbys Klædebo Kvarter;
Indtaster: Hugh Watkins; Under indtastning = being keyed in
C6509 New

Luckily I know the sreets "like my trouser pockets" as the Danes say having driven the taxi in every one of them over the last fifteen years - so the job is really exciting.

And some famous people lived there - already a Countess has shown up :-)

I estimate 2 or 3 years at a gentle pace.

BTW it was called KJØBENHAVEN


Copenhagen local collection of printed sources: "Københavns Rådhusbibliotek
Rådhuset
1599 København V"

Revl og krat

København or Kjøbenhavn and other forms of the name.

In the "officielle retsskrivning" or rules for correct spelling for schools and civil servants made in 1896, and up to 1938 either spelling was permitted.

"Borgerrepræsentationens Forhandlinger" the town council committee 1902/03 introduced the modern spelling in 1903/04, but "Københavns Budget" the finance committee changed it in 1907/08 and by 1938 "Kjøbenhavn" had disappeared in the City Hall.


The Ministries and Civil Servants dropped the "j" in 1929 but "Stednavneudvalget" the Place Names Committee used it until 1932
and in Kraks vejviser, (the street guide like Kelly's in UK) used both until 1933.

Foreign spellings of København:

Engelsk: Copenhagen
French: Copenhague
Greek: [Kopenafn] ΚΟΠΕΝΧΑΓΗ
Italian: Copenaghen
Latin: Hafnia
Rumanian: Copenhaga. -
Russian [Kopengagen] Копенгаген
Spanish: Copenhague
Svedish: Köpenhamn

Barred owls say 'who cooks for you', but not really. That's a mnemonic.

I think that we all use the two interchangeably. There are also comparative sounds, i.e., when we compare a song or call to something.

For example, a red-breasted nuthatch sounds like a tin horn or a common grackle sounds like a rusty pump handle. Of course, all of this takes a great deal of imagination and creativity, but that's the fun of it, right? " Bird Song Mnemonics - listed alphabetically by bird

HGS: 1700 Census Project:

"The 1700 census of men in Denmark is not a well known document. It can be a key document for genealogists as the church records of Denmark often start in the late 1600s or early 1700s.
This document can help genealogists better establish the earliest generation. Together with other documents of the 1600s, it can help genealogists extend a pedigree back beyond the earliest church records."
