I am not sure about the Latin endings, I studied Latin over 40 years ago. I believe Henrici is son of Henricus (Henry), and Caroli is son of Carolus (Charles) and Radolphi is son of Radolphus (Ralph), and other such quirks. I might be wrong, I did look into a bit, but it is a while ago. Until the mid 1700s and sometimes later, some record keepers used the Latin spellings, and in the Catholic church even later. |

I too am descended from Henricci but can't go back any further. |
