<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV>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. </DIV>

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;
<A title=http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ia/mitchell/cemeteries/sacredht.txt href="http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ia/mitchell/cemeteries/sacredht.txt">http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ia/mitchell/cemeteries/sacredht.txt</A>
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?
