Once again, it is so obvious when someone else points it out.
Thank you.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin Will 1494 - COMPLETED
« on: Friday 31 July 20 11:50 BST (UK) »
Could someone please tell me the latin word that I have highlighted.
I have seen a reference that suggests it may mean "late" or "formerly".
In dei nomi’e amen quintodecimo die
Agnes ROBERTH .... de paroch’ de Goutherst

Over a period of time, I deleted my old tree and uploaded a new gedcom.
Currently a lot (and I mean a lot) of people appear randomly as "Person Not Viewable. Despite them being born in the 1700's etc.
Children appear in a different sequence to that in my gedcom.
Blank lines seem to have been given the flick, so my notes are no longer spaced as I would like them.
And suffixes don't appear after the names.
But, the system is free and it appears that they are working on it. One must be patient if there is no equivalent facility available.

Thanks Martin. That doesn’t appear to be what I am after.
Prior to RootsWeb Worldconnect crumpling in a heap, it suited me perfectly.
All my supporting information appears in each individual’s notes. Therefore, in my tree, the notes are as equally or more important than just the names, dates & places.
I loved the ability to upload a gedcom and their system handled all the searching, intermingled with other people’s published trees.
Plus also, it eventually appeared in Google searches. Available to everyone without the need for fees or logins.
I am guessing that there is nothing equivalent as yet and I must be patient for RootsWeb to sort out all their issues.

I have a large tree with extensive notes.
I want to make it available to anyone, especially after I fall off the perch.
Are there any suggestions as to how I am going to do that.
I was using the World Connect Project via RootsWeb, but the wheels fell off that system a year ago and they don't appear to have things working as yet.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1680 Scottish marriage interpretation

Thank you GR2. I have now gone through all my notes. Not sure how it all hangs together. Too many skippers by the name of James LAW.
When married in 1680, James was a skipper – “James LAW, Skipper, Agnes LAW vide”
When his son was baptised in 1680, James was a skipper and described as “younger” – “James LAW younger Skipper, Agnes LAW A S N William. Witnesses Richard LOUTHIAN merchant, John COVAN Town=thesaurer, William SHEILL and William LAW merchants."
In 1681 James was a merchant – “LAW, James, B. and G., mt., be r. of w. Agnes, dr. to umq. John LAW, putherer 6 July 1681”.
When his son was married in Aug 1706, James was dead – “William LAW, Sone to the Deceist James LAW”
So your The Index to the Commisssariot of Edinburgh - James Law, younger, skipper in Leith 1-6-1706, fits perfectly

I do have, as per the Scottish Record Society in their publication “Roll of Edinburgh Burgesses and Guild-Brethen 1406-1841”
“LAW, James, B. and G., mt., be r. of w. Agnes, dr. to umq. John LAW, putherer 6 July 1681”
which I interpret as ;
LAW, James, burgess and guild-brother, merchant, by right of wife Agnes, daughter to umquhyle John LAW, putherer [Worker in pewter] 6 July 1681.
I also have a baptism for the 25th august 1661 ;
"Johne LAW, peudarer, Jeane CRAWFOORD a.d.n. [a daughter named] Agnes. Witn [witnesses] Alexander . . . . [and others - too hard for me to decipher]"
If I have the right connections, that would make Agnes aged around 19/20 when she married. Perhaps a bit young for a widow?

If it ends up being widow, then that adds an extra complication in tracking her ancestry.
