IPL Genealogy Group: Illegitimacy & Bastardy with Marian Henry, Past-President of the Rochester Genealogy Society In-Person
If you’re sufficiently open-minded, the skeletons in your family’s closet can be most interesting. In this talk we consider a particular class of such skeletons - illegitimacy. This can be difficult research. We will consider first how to tell if a birth actually is illegitimate.Then we’ll look at the inverse of the mother’s-maiden-name problem - finding the father’s name. Along the way we will establish that, although a bastard is always illegitimate, an illegitimate child is not always a bastard. We’ll learn the difference between an imputed father and a reputed father. We’ll look at what kind of records might have been created at the time and why all this matters anyway. Registration required.
