The Common Room / Help with Dora Bartholomei please
« on: Friday 15 March 24 16:21 GMT (UK)  »
Dora Marguerite Irčne Benedicta Bartholomei was born in Paris in 1891, the daughter of Michel Bartholomei and Maria Martinoff (both Russian, though Maria Martinoff became a naturalised French citizen in 1925).
I have not been able to find any records of a marriage or death and wondered if anyone could help.
I have a copy of her Parisian birth record, and she was the informant on her mother's death record in 1927 in Cannes.
The Chicago Tribune of 19th December 1933 has a short article on a lecture Dora gave about her father.
Ancestry has a crew list that shows her as a stewardess arriving in the US, June 25 1936.
Apart from a couple of other indirect references, I've not found any mentions of her. My family tree is the only one she shows up on in an Ancestry search.
If anyone could give me any leads it would be fabulous.

Thank you for the replies. The transcription is useful, and pretty much ties in with what I have.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Probate date 1615

At the bottom of the will of Nicholas Symons is appended details of the probate, which is impossible for me to read - is it Latin or have I just completely lost the plot?
I'd be really grateful if someone could summarise any useful information contained in this part of the will. It seems to me that probate was granted in January 1615.
Thanks very much.
This part of the will is much fainter than the rest, I assume the ink used was different and has faded more. Apologies for the quality of the image but it's the best I have.

Thanks.
At least I'm not missing something completely obvious!

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask about boxes in the right hand window. I don't have any boxes to tick when I create a marriage. This is the screen I get.

Technical Help / Copying a source on Ancestry
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 18:53 GMT (UK)  »
On Ancestry, I have created a marriage fact, along with a source and citation. Whilst the marriage fact copies over from the groom to the bride, the source and citation does not. When looking at the marriage fact for the bride, it appears unsourced.
Is there any way to copy the source and citation from the groom to the bride, rather than having to enter the information again?
Thanks in advance.
