Data Sourced from the LDS Index of the 1881 Census

Further research Notes

Having located the original census image for the 1881 Census for London Amelia’s surname is actually DESLANDS.

I have looked at the 1871 Census for London RG10/0158/50 and have located Amelia living at 125 Oxford Street London, recorded with surname of DESLANDES.

Copies of the 1871 and 1881 census pages for Amelia are included in the Orlando one name study, because she is recorded as an Orlando in the LDS Index for 1881.

Baptisms - St George the Martyr Church in Prizzi, Palermo Province

Note: all entries are in Latin, so you will need to convert them to Sicilian. e.g. Petrus/Petri= Pietro, Paschale=Pasquale, Mri= Mariani, Dominici=Domenico, Antoninus=Antonino, Joanna=Giovanna, Salvatoris=Salvator_e, etc. The difference in spelling of these names within an entry is due to the form in which it is used in the sentence. Unless noted otherwise, these babies were baptized the day they were born.

Missouri State Archives - Death Records Certificates

A quick search for my Orlando one name study revealed 53 results.

Introduction to the Orlando One Name Study

The One Name Study for the name of ORLANDO, which is registered with the Guild of One Name Studies, commenced in February 2002, focusing on my Italian Ancestry, by the time I had finally decided to register the One Name Study I had been researching my family history for 16 years. In 1986 I started researching my maternal line then, in 1993 the lines of my husband.

If fate had played a very different hand my maiden name would have been Orlando, and many of the questions that I have about the name and my Italian ancestry would indeed have been answered, and as genealogists know, only too well, what seems impossible, has a certain charm about it, and generally results in many, many hours of research.

The name ORLANDO is an Italian name, my own researches focuses on Sicily, but nevertheless, material about the origins of the name, is short supply and is linked to the name of Roland. Try putting the name ORLANDO into a search engine, I used Google, and once you have discarded the many sites about a holiday in Orlando Florida, there are some interesting sites and further lines of enquiry.

The Guild of One Name Studies expects a researcher, who has registered a specific name to extract the GRO References and collate the certificates accordingly. I had barely started this task, then I became aware of numerous references to the name Orlando, on the “super-highway”. You know how it is, you see a web link to a database or suchlike online and you “have” to just have a quick look to see! well, I looked and was amazed at the amount of Orlando
References that pertained to the USA, Canada and Australia. As web sites come and go, I decided to extract all the encountered references and record them along with the web address of where they were located. ALL these of course need to be verified against the original documentation ~ remember, the Internet is a useful source, a finding aid, it is valuable in its own way, but nothing will replace the thrill of actually seeing the original document.

The criteria for the Orlando one name study are set out on the One Name Study home page. It lists the criteria based upon the study researching the name in the United Kingdom. Clearly, the amount of Orlando reference within the UK will be less than in Italy, after all, this is an Italian name. The reference to Overseas Material is where everything, non-UK will appear. There are obviously going to be amendments to this, as the study is still in it’s infancy.

One of the initial things that made me decide to research the name more fully was stumbling across a marriage reference in Woking Surrey in 1901 of an Orlando, nothing odd in that, except that my own branch of the Orlando’s did not arrive in the area until sixty years later, or did they?

Every study has a catalyst and this was mine, and therefore the One Name Study was formed as I sought to locate, collect and index every reference to the name regardless of its geographical location or its source.

Orlando - One Name Study

I am half Italian, and fascinated with my Italian ancestry. I Registered with the Guild of One Name Studies the name of ORLANDO in February 2002. I've also registered the varients of ORLANDA & ORLANDE. The database is a new one, but is gathering information from all across the globe.

This web page has a search engine facility which show the occurances of a given surname in both Italy and the United States. Here is the occurances of the name Orlando in Italy.
