Hi... How are you guys at reading old parish records? I have a copy of my 7 x Great Grandparents burial entries, from 1678. Problem is, I just cannot make out the man's christian name??!! Online data says his name is Boaz Goodchild but the parish entry looks nothing like Boaz. It begins with a B but looks more like a Germanic name? I can message a copy to anyone who feels they may be able to help. Thanks. |

Do you have this? Nothing more in the record than given below: |

It has saved as a Tiff image on my memory stick... is that why it won't attack to PMs?? |

Thanks Potty. Yes, I have seen that also. I have been in touch with Leicestershire County Records Office to see what they have on it. :) |

Ditto no attachment on mine so think it may be the format. |

I was about to suggest it looks like Bortius - maybe Boetius is the latin version of Boaz? |

the 'e' which looks like an 'r' is the same as the 'e' in wife just preceding the name |

Not sure about your Danish origins Darren, Boaz is from the Old Testament - he was the husband of Ruth |
