[or-roots] genealogy whining

[LAUBREY1 at aol.com]

Leslie; Reading this made me smile. I think we have all had the same thing  
some time or another. I sure do hate it when there are 2 lines with the 
same  names and very close birth dates. Good luck.

Ran across an old post of mine while doing some more research on  this line 
and thought I would update it; for starters I think I was  misinterpreting 
the data I posted originally as it sounds like I thought  the last two 
colums were ages or something? It turns out this Jacob and  Minnie are my people, 
but still don't know if Halverson is Minnie's  maiden name or what. As to 
the rest of the Popp confusion I really have  some justification to whine; As 
near as I can find the birth date for my  Jacob is 22 Sep 1892 while the 
birth date for the other one (b. in  Minnesota where both of them die) is 23 
Sep 1891. The father of both of  them is John born in WI to add insult to the 
injury, but I think the  mothers and spouses are different. But I keep 
finding them in each  other's neighborhoods and considering how many names the 
two different  families seem terribly fond of I keep thinking they must be 
related and  I just can't find the link. 


Merry Christmas everybody,


Leslie Chapman



pardon any typos I have a serious case of COL (cat on lap)



Blankety blank name coincidences!



I wandered into my wifes family a couple days ago and decided to take

another stab at them, found a whole list of Popp in Iowa hits and part way

down list I find;



POPP          JACOB J               20 MAY 1960      S125    92       92

POPP          MINNIE HALVERSON      29 FEB 1924      1259    1        46





and think I have hit a good one, only trouble is my Minnie ma jacob J would

be abt 29 with that death date and my Jacob J would be 69, bummer and for a

minute I figured I had Minnie's maiden name.



So down the page to;

Where I even find a Frank born in the right year, and twelve Popp's that

either match my data base, including a Kate born same year as my Kate ma

John, Kate seems to be married to a John, unfortunately his birth year is 11

years earlier than all census data on my guy??



Still think maybe these are my people, guess maybe I should spring for the

cost of a death cert for one of them and see what I get.



Oh well, sorry to bother you all with my whining but geez how far can name

coincidences go, I mean with a surname like Chapman, even the Burt Hard

thing wasn't too far fetched but how many of you have a Popp in your family

tree?
