All the sources I know about are closed - unless someone knows to the contrary of course :)) Two of the children are Canadian born. The other two American born.

Research doesn't always work when names can be either male or female or when parents decide to make one t'other. Research won't give you a definite answer. Sometimes, an ambiguous name can be clarified by a marriage to someone with a clearly male or female name but not always. I don't have the marriages to help with these four children. John has cited a source and a reason for Heber. Most of the Shays I've come across have been male but I doubt Shay MITCHELL would be impressed with being call a boy/man. Vivien is the feminine of Vivian but what about the Vivians who are female? Research doesn't help there, nor with Beverley, Lynn or even my own name. I have an Alma in my family. Female? Maybe but since the holder of the name was given it subsequent to the Battle of The Alma, the person is most likely male. The person in question didn't marry and is not known to have fathered or borne children. Thus using the ? for unknown gender is necessary until such time as I know for sure one way or t'other. A source should be cited for most research but it isn't always possible. Research doesn't always find a definitive answer and a source is not always available. Some names started off being male but became female and vice versa. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

I have several children who have been given names that are not obviously male or female or could be either. Asking the parents isn't possible. They are all North American and born in the late 1980s. No surnames given. Devin Spencer (b Michigan) Heber Brynn (b British Columbia) Jessen Shay (b Alberta) Jordan Marinus (b Michigan) I would appreciate possible enlightenment please :)) -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
