Because Keith Matthews developed his own abbreviations and syntax, the format of the Name Files is confusing. For example, this entry by Matthews:
adames 1797 churston jn son wm/mary means:
John Adams, son of William and Mary Adams, was baptised in 1797. Source: Churston, Devon Parish Records, England.
To assist the visitor in deciphering this syntax we have created a searchable abbreviation database. Entering an abbreviation, one at a time, in the search below should provide a helpful interpretation.
Please note: If the interpretation states "unknown" it means we were not able to find an explanation ourselves. If it states "No abbreviation found" contact us by email at mha@mun.ca and we will attempt to find an answer. If you find a solution on your own, please contact us at the same email address and we will add it to our database.
