Re: what nationality are these names?
in reply to a message by Linda
Lucrecia and Celectis are Latin, which means they culd probaby have been used in any number of European countries. As for Almanzine...maybe french? A lot of French names ens in -ine, although french doesn't use the letter Z much. Hmmm. Ehat was their last name? That would probably give you a better clue.

The mother's last name was Byar or Beyer and the father's was Deeds. I think the Deeds family came to America from England. Those were the first three children. The other 9 or 10 children had more common names. I also thought Almanzine sounded French but the other two names didn't.
