Re: names I saw doing genealogical research
Something that someone had explained to me on here while I was doing more of my own genealogy research is that sometimes some of the names are a "typo," a misspelling, or whatnot because the census taker or the records keeper of the era didn't know how to spell it correctly.That had actually put me down a rabbit hole, and I read about a case where a woman from a couple of hundred years ago stated that she saw her name spelled two different ways before, and she wasn't sure which one was the "correct" one for her.With that said: I like Elizena, Rosewell, Jarvis, Cordelia, Garnet (I too had a male Garnet), Merlaine, LoreliePlease rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.
