Things I've LearntThis is a featured page

Since becoming an OPC and taking my research to a further level that personal Genealogy I have learnt some interesting things:

In the 1890s burials were performed on Christmas Day!

In the Parish of Lanteglos-by-Fowey if you survived infancy there was a good chance you would live to a very good age 70+

Parish records often have lots of information in poor handwriting or minimal information in easy to read handwriting, c'est la vie!

As well as a core group of families who were firmly routed in the parish there are families who seemed to have had lots of baptisms or burials but no both! I guess people moved into the parish once they were passed the child rearing stage (or had healthy children who all survived!)
