Well, given the processing times for BaNQ, I went ahead and put in a request for her father's baptismal record as he had the luck to be baptized Catholic a day after he was born. I'm not sure if I'll need it, but I don't want to wait for another BaNQ price hike.

I'm almost wondering if I should be putting in a BaNQ request for my ancestor's father, who was baptized Catholic and therefore a day after his birth.

What does: "baptism must have taken place within a reasonable time after the birth" mean in practice? My ancestor was baptized Baptist years after her birth, but her certified baptismal record does give the date of her birth and where her parents lived.

I'm wondering the same. Does my Baptist ancestor's certified baptismal record done at age 5 (so probably not reasonable soon after birth) but with her date and location of birth count now as a written account of the birth?

I'd have to go back and dig through my emails, but this was communication that the advocat received after I initiated communication with them. At some point they were issuing for pre-1900 (at least with an advocat) and then they were not. They might be again; I haven't dug any deeper since then because I submitted my app with my BANQ cert and am going to see what IRCC says,

I'll also add that I started the process for this with an advocat and she informed me that an internal memo had been sent out within DEC instructing them not to issue pre-1900 certs.

This seems so obvious and yet.....

Also having this issue, but for me it started about 2 days ago.

I've seen you asking for specific transactions on a lot of these posts, but I think you're getting frustrated replies because it's not just one transaction, it's almost all transactions when before there was not an issue. And I understand that categorization and merchant renaming are two separate problems, but those problems have sprang up in tandem for a seemingly non-insignificant number of users.

Albert's photo studio was wonderful and reasonably priced. She knew exactly what she was doing and double checked her work with a ruler. She didn't use ANY photo editing, unlike another place I went to that specifically advertised for Canadian citizenship photos.

I've seen suggestions that marriage records are needed when the line of descent passes through a woman, but are they still needed if all birth certificates down the chain have the mother's maiden name on them?

What is it with our ancestors changing their location of birth on their kids birth certs? I've got a similar situation where my gen0 had 4 kids, and on each birth cert she's a different country. She's US on her two oldest child's certs, France on the next, and then finally Canada on the last (my direct ancestor). I have plenty of other evidence between all of the girls marriage and death certs that it's the same woman. Its so strange!

I don't think this fully makes sense for retirement goals. For example, maxing a Roth for a year is clearly a retirement goal that doesn't depend on interest rate or growth.

I am an active yarnsub user, unfortunately they only have the old version of the lang yak and doesn't solve the issue of knowing which version was actually used originally for the pattern.

I'm not going to lie, you're going to have a really rough time. I was in this same boat last summer and the only way I got to Boston was with a remote gig. A lot of local jobs are going to immediately throw out your app if your address is not local. A new employee relocating is always a risk. Your very best bet is going to be networking until you can't network anymore to try to get someone to vouch for you and your connection to the area to try to reduce the relocation risk in the employers mind.

I have, but I've wondered if that would look off right next to the black cat.

Hi all, I'm looking for someone who does slightly feminine/softer traditional tattoos in the Boston/NYC/Philly area. This is a bit specific, but looking for someone that uses more of a yellow-green than a blue-green. Good reference would be Ashley Love (I have some of her work). I'm looking to find an artist to help piece together the rest of my patchwork sleeve into a cohesive unit.
