Re: same names, my husband’s family is multiple generations of Freds, Charleses, Roberts, Donalds, and Normans. My son is the third “Joe” in a row, named for his daddy and his daddy’s daddy, only slightly altered for language from one to the next and the next.
One day we’ll all be dust and nothing will matter. I understand now that there will just be some confused and frustrated genealogist cursing over our lack of creativity and that gives me some joy.
What a great find in the family archives!

Yeah, at least document your tree in an heirloom bible or Sears catalogue!
