I’ve been working on my family tree for the past few weeks, and in the process I’ve spotted a number of cool names, such as:
Aletta Alimento Alphild Amendola Beloni Brunuzzo Ceresina Chiarina Clitheroe Cutomea Elvezia Estinor Eulalia |
Everestis Fleurette Genoveffo GianBattista Girolima Hermina Ludovico Lumina Małgorzata Marvaline Melancthon Micipsa Muzzio |
Nano Nuzida Pacific Pantaleo Reizel Theunissina Tidence Velie Wilburforce Wooley Yeja Axil Yolette Zozime |
Unfortunately, none of the people above are actually in my family. (I’ll be sure let you know if I discover any oddly named ancestors.) In the meanwhile, if you want to dig up a few odd names of your own, here are some of the sites I’ve been using:
- Ellis Island Passenger Manifest Search (1892 – 1924)
- Massachusetts Passenger Manifest Search (1848 – 1891)
- Massachusetts Vital Record Search (1841 – 1910)
- Prince Edward Island Baptismal Record Search (1777 – 1886)
