Hessie
« on: Friday 23 January 04 12:49 GMT (UK) »
There is a legend in my wife's family, that the first-born daughter always has the name Hessie.  I can trace back 4 generations, but there the trail stops.
Does anybody here know any Hessie, or have any good tips on how to do a first-name search ??
I live in Germany so I am limited to online databases.

Thanks.
Bob

At http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl you can search on first names if they are unusual. I tried it and it works :) The problem is it is incomplete and starts in 1837 which may not be far enough back for you.

Thanks for the Hessie-list. I'm starting to go through them now.

Thanks also to Ely-lite.   At the the moment I have my daughter, her mother, her grandmother, her greatgreataunt (she had no children, so the name was passed on through another daughter) and her greatgrandmother. I tried "freeBMD" and I think I located one of "our" Hessies, the greatgreataunt.  

I'm now trying to confirm this. Once again, thaks !

Bob,

It is worth re-visiting the FreeBMD site from time to time as it is an on-going project and new records are regularly added. :D

Thanks, Karen.  I will do that.  At the moment I have reached a dead end. I got excited when I did find a Hessie Stevenson and some Emily Stevensons (her sister), but the age ranges are wrong. So I will leave it a few months and look for other family members and then try again...   and again...  and again...

Thanks, Bob.
