    It appears to be Ochtina to me as well.  I have never heard this given name before in all of my years (40) of research.

    I am uploading the doc here.  (Didn't realize I could do that on this system.)  My Polish native researcher friend said she thought it was Ochtina.  I now believe I may have additional records available that will reference this person, which I didn't believe were available when I first posted.  

    Thanks for all the help,

    Patty

    Hello Patricia,


    I am weighing in on this rather late.  Can you post a scan of this document?  If not, what is the exact date and village name.  I may be able to help.

    Maybe.  I hope to get additional records, but it's not likely.  This is from a Polish Civil Registry Office that hasn't been filmed by the FHL.  I may have run out of cooperation on the part of the Office clerk.  Alas.

    I'm sorry; I should have specified more.  The record was a birth/baptism record of the Greek Catholic Church, 1885, in far southeastern Poland.  The ethnicity is definitely Rusyn.  But the priest wrote in Latin.

    Hi,

      What type of record was it on?  I don't recognize the name. So many you learn to recognize and then one is so different. What language? country?

    I have an 1885 record and cannot make out a female first name.  It looks like Ochtinie.  I think I have the Ocht correct, but not the rest of it.  Does this ring any bells for anyone?

    Thanks.

    I looked at that site and seems like a large site. My family used the same familiar names over and over as the Rusyns did but then and again I see a name I never saw used in the family and its a surprise. Like my great grandfather whose name was Alexander and none of his sons or grandsons are named such. My guess is that there were some unrecorded male deaths in the family.
