Ireland / Re: Lambert lookup request
« on: Friday 28 October 16 18:32 BST (UK)  »
Just a quick update from me: I contacted the church where Patrick was married twice in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, their records were lost in a flood in the 1970s. So, I'm almost back at square one.
Would anyone be kind enough to look this up on the RootsIreland website, please?
Again, I'm looking for a Patrick Lambert, who was the son of James Lambert, born between 1866 and 1871. One marriage record has him born on 16 February 1870, but that may be inaccurate. Only one record has him born in 1866, the others are either 1870 and 1871. I don't know the mother's name.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

He was married to both. I've seen both marriage records, and they don't provide me with much more than a birthday, residence at the time of the marriage, and place of birth. The place of birth is empty on the first marriage record, and completely non existent on the second.
The only thing that I could see worth doing is contacting the churches where they were married and see if the parish records reveal much of anything. Unless you have another suggestion?

I have a lead for a possible immigration record into the US, but I currently do not know if it connects with the family I'm researching. It does have a Patrick (Patk) Lambert traveling with a James (Jas) Lambert and what would be several siblings coming from Ireland in 1884 on the ship Spain. However, subsequent research as to whether this is the correct family remains to be seen. I've been trying to go through each child on that passenger list to see if I can make any connection, and it hasn't produced anything definitive. What's worse is that there's no 1890 census in the US, so a sixteen-year gap is a long time for life to happen.
The informant on the death certificate was John Lambert, Patrick's son.
Patrick did marry in Pennsylvania. The marriage record I see has a birth date, birth place, and residence at the time of marriage.

Nope. I just clicked on the link and it had the seven results from your search. All of them had pictures available, and none of them had James as the father. It's my understanding that this database is still incomplete, so it's possible that another record exists outside of this database that would match what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the link. I looked through each record and no matches came up  :(

Ireland / Lambert lookup request
« on: Tuesday 25 October 16 13:26 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a Patrick Lambert who was born in Ireland around 16 February 1870/71. (I've also seen it as far back as 1866 on one record.) His father's name is James. In 1883 or 84 Patrick immigrated to Pennsylvania. In his death certificate from 1915, it gives his father's name, but not his mother's. It also doesn't give any specific location in Ireland for his birth.
Can someone help me identify the birth location and mother's name for Patrick, please?
Thank you!

Matt

Thanks for giving it a go! I know it's terribly hard to read! And, if you're not familiar with Czech names, it can be even harder. The brother's name is actually Frantisek, a traditional Czech name, so you were very close. I was able to find the marriage of Josefa's parents. Here's the link:

Again, I'm trying to find her grandparents' names, which will be located somewhere in the area around the background information of the father/groom and mother/bride.
I'll keep trying to tackle it as well, but if inspiration should hit you, feel free to share it here!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Kurrent/Czech/Bohemian birth records
« on: Wednesday 18 November 15 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am in need of help deciphering some names from old Bohemian vital records. I know the following:
- Name: Josefa Rychly
- Father: Frantisek Rychly
- Mother: Anna Titl (or Titlova)
- Born: 18 December 1842, Dobriv, Rokycany District

In the baptismal record, is also gives the names of Josefa's grandparents. I'm having a tough time deciphering those names. I also found a couple of siblings, but I'm having just as much trouble reading those clearly enough. Thanks in advance for the help!

Here are the links to use to see the records. Note that you can zoom in and out and move the image about if needed:
