No, talk louder. I can't hear if you mutter softly.

It's a start. Thank you. Not sure I have a Dorcas in my tree. New, real, names are always good.
Ancestry transcribed her as Elizabeth and I spent way too long enlarging and shrinking the page and turning my head from side to side to try and work it out. Apparently ending in 'eth' means Elizabeth.
I googled Dosheth and it comes up with a biblical reference in an old bible but it is OCR and there are ink blots on the page so I don't know what it is meant to actually read.
