[or-roots] Name coincidences

[Cuprum4445 at aol.com]

I noticed the similarity of the Marrs name when I read it too.  But  maybe 
I spelled Mary Jones' grandmother's name wrong in my previous email.   The 
Find A Grave memorial shows her name as:  Rosalia Morss Buoy (1840 - 1900) - 
it has two s's rather than 2  r's.  But then names often get misspelled in 
various places, &  sometimes even get changed deliberately.  That surely 
keeps us guessing,  & we need to be open minded when searching for our folks.

This is  getting just a little weird, did anyone else pick up on the fact 
that these  two (apparently??) independent threads had (almost) a surname in  
common?

The Howell thread involves the surname Marrs and the maiden  name of Mary 
Jones' grandmother was Morrs?

Probably just a coincidence,  but given the spelling eccentricities (note 
my list of Llewellyn anagrams last  night that may have all been one family) 
it is always possible there is a  connection.
