from Denmark

A big thank you to my comrade genealogist Hedvig who collected me from
Copenhagen Airport.

I am working with the Lapham one-name study and am entering the contribution
from Sue and and Kevin Rowley in Australia,who have sent us the 392
descendants of John Lapham who married Sarah Coward on December 15, 1794 in
Kilmington, Somerset, England.

To enable indexing this John Lapham and Sarah Coward get a hypothetical
birthdate of between 1761 and 1774 allocated by me on the assumption that
most of us get marriid, or have our first child between the ages of 20 and
31 years.

They will be on the web site of 3041 individuals and more than 780
marriages on the next upload
I started with 70 people exported from my own FTM 2005 family file mostly

Maureen's Family Trees

Lapham of Kilmington, Somerset brilliant !!

the name first occurs in the Kilmington parish register in 1605. Since the registers begin in 1582, it is possible the family moved from somewhere else but there is no indication of where. The family appears to have been small farmers or farm labourers. The earliest Registration is of the marriage of John Lapham, Jr. and Alice Clement 16 Sept 1605. John apparently had two sisters, Mary and Edith who married in 1609. Unfortunately there is a serious gap in the registers. The missing period covers 1668 to 1705. Consequently it is not possible at this time to connect John Lapham directly to his later descendents.

CUSTODIAN 3

RootsWeb: Genealogy Mailing Lists: CUSTODIAN: "A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the Custodian genealogy software program."

Custodian Home Page: "Custodian is a set of source-based databases with data entry forms designed to store genealogical information. Many family historians collect a great deal of information about people with the same surname - not necessarily linked! How this information is stored and organised has long been of interest to family historians, especially those conducting a One-Name Study. This is where Custodian can help."

I have imported a gedcom that I useed for
RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: LAPHAM one-name study and plan to use Custodian for data management

don't pay £23 per certificate.

Birth Certiciattes - GOV-CERTIFICATES.CO.UK
from my email:-

Dear listers,

It would appear that a bogus certificate ordering website has sprung up

they appear to charge £23 per certificate. As anyone ordering from the
official depts will know, they only cost £7, and sometimes a search charge
is required of £4. Please alert your fellow genealogists to this,
especially the newbies.

kind regards, Jon
