whoa

Ok, I always thought being named Orange had to be an unusual thing. I have been looking for a person I thought would stand out like a sore thumb, and have found tons of both males and females named Orange.

I think I am going to name a kid Purple, just out of spite.

Seriously, this man was supposedly my great grandfather's brother, which I cannot verify yet. If this is the fellow, it will be hard to tell. I found the same name, with the same wife, but different kids, in two seperate censuses. They also lived in decidedly different places. Ironically, the WIFE is exactly the same- birth place and name. Go figure.
Ah well. This is the frustration and fascination of family research.
