Thank you Belinda and found the naming pattern I was wanting but what I am really wanting on diseases is: The years of Epidemics of then it listed what was the epidemic for that year was. So you would have an idea of what killed several in a family possibly at that time. Also The law of Progeniture (I think that is the correct word). I guess you would say "birthrights" and why they named them so and so for reasons of inheritance.
