Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Help wanted to understand Ancestry.com ThruLines
« on: Yesterday at 17:38 »
Thrulines uses other people's trees to find links, not DNA. So will only find a link if you share a common ancestor in a tree, I think...

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Translation of Latin - Help Needed!

I think Galwalliae is Galloway and Rotholandi is Roland.

Is page 277 here, the same text in English?

That's fine and it shows the downside of using AI! I did put my hands up and say I knew no latin and had tried Copilot simply to see what it came up with…

Have to head out for a few hours but will look at the death on my return. There are few names I'll have to research as thy're not very clear. Looks as though he died in the house of Firmin Halet?

Translation of birth:

On the eighteenth of March, seventeen hundred and seventy-seven, was born in wedlock and was baptised the following day in this church, François Auguste, son of Jean Defrance and  Françoise Dela Marre. He had for godfather François Auguste Cadot and for godmother Marie Jeanne Lefevre. In faith of which I have signed with the godfather, the godmother being unable to write, as attested to at Neslette on the nineteenth of March of the aforementioned year.

Haha! I said it would need some tweaking!

Not knowing any latin I tried a translation with Copilot, which will obviously need some tweaks:

Here lies the knight Robert by the name of Manfelde
A courtier shining during the time of Henry the Fifth
Who undertook various labours for the supreme king
While he was subduing the French and Normans through wars
A squire and the fourth H. for the protection of the sixth
He was chosen until death drew him into funerals.
