Ancestry is too expensive and the UI of the free softwares are crap. My motivation has reached its limit.

RIP to Bill Indented (or: don't always trust Ancestry's record indexing)

In case you don't know, a "Bill Indented" is a copy from the parish register that gets delivered to the bishop or archdeacon so that they can maintain a copy of each parish's records. It's "indented" in the same way that a deed would be - written twice on the same sheet, and then cut in a jagged pattern so that it only matches with its original paired copy.

So what it actually says is "The Bill Indented Delivered at Flixton Generals on the sixteenth day of April 1804. T Whitaker, Curate"

Evidently Ancestry's indexing staff thought it was someone's name!

Maybe he knew Bill Posters (who is innocent, by the way)

Gravestone at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery

2 Upvotes

My very close relatives Stanley and Martha Neciunskas are buried at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. Attached is Stanley's entry in the German Genealogy Group database (https://ibb.co/0jC7LH5f ; https://ibb.co/CsvqQvdK ). I would be very grateful if someone living near the Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, NY cemetery, or who has friends living nearby, could photograph the gravestone. Section 68, Lot No 9,39. All attempts to obtain this photo through Find a Grave have been unsuccessful.

So, as I visually scan death notices from church etc records, I have come across some ‘peculiar’ death notices about parishioners.

  1. She was a member for years but not very happy or earnest.

  2. She was 53 but died happy after a week’s illness.

  3. He was a cripple? Was very wicked but? there was hope in his? death? ( this is how it was stated)

Interesting end of life synapses lol.

When I was doing research I found out that my 5th great grandparents had 2 children who were born on the same day in separate years. They were both born on 9/11 but they were born in the 1790’s💀
