I like seeing Lorinda there - Jacintha and Lambert suggest a Dutch origin

The ancestor whose descendants are detailed in this book was from England but spouses who married into that direct line could be from anywhere and I did notice infusions of names from various parts of the world. I like Lorinda too.
