What is interpreted as a "y" in writings of the 16th and 17th century is actually a use of the now defunct "thorn", representing the "th" sound. It is frequently found in the word "the". In fact, in the written form, this word is marked by a raised "e" after it, distinguishing it from the subject pronoun form "ye" (for "you"). People reading it now without knowing this -- that is, most folks -- invariably mispronounce the word.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_OldeBruce Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439971692893378961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-82547801109979157832013-11-29T07:38:27.468-05:002013-11-29T07:38:27.468-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bruce Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439971692893378961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-92209273851802793362013-08-01T16:10:46.490-04:002013-08-01T16:10:46.490-04:00Henry Howland, John's brother, was my 10th gre...Henry Howland, John's brother, was my 10th great grandfather, through his son, Zoeth. I see many ancestry.com trees showing ancestry for generations in England, and wonder whether these have been authenticated, or are simply leaps of faith? <br />I have encountered a similar situation with regard to my mother's Eastern Shore ancestors, where a cousin of my mother's spent thousands of dollars in the 70's and 80's with research through the York Herald in London, trying to authenticate the crest on his mother's silver. Genealogy was all the rage in the late 1800's, and I'm sure that "researchers" were quick to promote their ability to provide links to nobility. While the Internet has made many new resources available, it has also seemed to facilitate the spread of unproven links.<br /><br />richard_king@verizon.net<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-78406634819159712522013-07-16T16:53:05.709-04:002013-07-16T16:53:05.709-04:00I have contacted the GSMD & NEHGS.
