Lanarkshire / Re: Help with baptism abbreviation, please

Hi sancti, That's an interesting point you make.  My geography knowledge of the area isn't very good and I didn't think about that.  I'll keep it in mind as I work along the family. Thank you for mentioning it.

Pennines, It was a fun get-together and I came back with lots more family history information.  Now to get to work verifying everything.

Thanks for everyone's input!

I'm going to a family reunion tomorrow and taking the print with me, so I wanted to be prepared for any questions.  Pennines, the next time I get to the FHL, if I can look at the digitized version of the film, I know now that there will likely be a first page and that page should have  the key.  Our local one is closed for the summer, so I'll add this to my "to do" list.  I'm happy to have the photo of the information showing the family connection and I'm sure the family will be too.

Thanks very much for helping with my puzzle.  Marion

The register is from Old Monkland, June 1846.

I'm stuck on the letters in the column under Baptism.  I've looked for abbreviation help  on Scotlands People and other sites and have drawn a blank. Could someone please clue me in on what they stand for?

Thanks very much.  Marion

Hi bearkat,

Could you see if there is a cookie for the site on your hard drive and then remove it? If you try when the cookie is gone, it's like a new connection.  Sometimes I've found that works.  Hope it does for you.  Marion

Marion, do tell me if it works.

I just tried the dental floss method on three photos. The two small ones were quite easy, the larger needed a fair bit of sawing back and forth but all three came off in excellent condition. I only had waxed floss in the house so I'll stop at the three, just in case using non-waxed is important.  Very happy with the results.  Thanks, Martin!

Well, it seems that we have the same interests, but not the same DNA! Thanks again for the help. Marion

Largest segment = 0.0 cM

Total Half-Match segments (HIR) = 0.0 cM (0.0 Pct)
