Jacobi and Jacobus
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 13:20 UTC (UK) »

Could someone please put me out of my misery if they know if there is a difference between Jacobi and Jacobus in the early 1700s (in Elland).

Thank you.

Hi Holmemoss,

Sounds like a case of latin declension

Jacobus = nominative
Jacobi = genitive

I agree with Tati - basically it's the same name but the ending changes, depending on where it comes in the sentence.

Thank you. I asked as in the transcripts of the Elland Parish Registers by Calderdale FHS, I have the father of children given as Ja:bi or Jacobi but a possible baptism for this man as Jacobus.

I have an admission to make now; I did Latin for 5 years at Grammar School in the 1960s but being more scientifically minded I failed my O-Level miserably. Nevertheless, I should have known.
