[Opinions] Kunigunda and Serafia
I found a "new" ancestor of mine: my great-great-great-great-grandmother Cecilia Kunigunda (in some documents Cecelia Kuningunda and Caecilia Kunigunda), born in 1855. She was most likely a Finnish speaking Finn and miller's daughter, so I have no idea where the fancy looking Kunigunda comes from (Cecilia was a normal name even for Finnish speakers in the 1800's).In the same parish registers I also found couple Serafias. Apparently Serafia has been more common than Serafina in that time (at least in the parish my ancestor was from), which I find interesting.What do you think of Kunigunda and Serafia (and their other forms such as Kunigunde, Cunégonde and Seraphia)?
