I found some Catholic baptisms on LDS. Would John,James and Lucy be baptised as Joannes, Jacobus and Lucia? Mother is showing as Mariae Comer, could this possibly be Mary Colemore? Or is it just wishful thinking? Sue.

Sounds good to me! Baptismal names were usually written in latin and those are the correct latin names. Also, mother's surname is what the Priest HEARD, and it would be good enough for me, if it all fits with what you expect. OC

Thanks O C, Everything fits---just needed confirmation. Lucky that they had an unusual surname or else I would probably never have found them! Sue.

If you're interested in how words work (and it helps you remember which name is which) - James = Jacobus, and that's why things from the era of King James are called ''Jacobean'' (in the same way that things from Queen Victoria's reign are called ''Victorian''). Christine
