Re: Vergentlin - Andy, are you here? lol
You made this one up, admit it! Just to test us!
Now seriously: I haven' got a clue. I can't see any relation between HANNA and … what's this name again? Not by spelling nor by sound nor by meaning (I wish I knew what VERG… whatever means).
Okay, take off the -lin endíng (deminutive), this leaves VERGENT. Virgin? - Take a B for the V and you might end up with BERG (for whatever reason).
Let's try google: 30 entries, mostly genealogical. Wow! Vergentlin Channa Treves (14th century!). Is she the one? Must be, because she is the only one mentioned on these sites.
next entry: "Vergentlin is the vernacular equivalent for the Hebrew name Channa." (http://www.heymannfamily.com/other%20families/Rashi/Whose%20descended%20from%20Rashi.htm) So it is! - Anybody around who can explain this?Andy ;—)

lol yeah I made it up! No no, just kidding.Yes, it's her, Vergentlin Hannah Treves. I must say I was quite surprised one year ago when I saw my family tree on the web, and when I saw our familial traditional information was totally accurate.
Anyway, don't worry about Vergentlin. Maybe the parents made it up totally and would have called her Bree'ttnye today LOLIf someone has an idea I would be glad to read it though!
