Just for fun, here are some names from my family tree.



Organized by sibling sets, years are approximate, and our family is mostly Polish (My great grandma, Salomea, ws born there but raised here)...

1890s: Julia, Anthony, Salomea, Frank, John, Stanley, Thomas, Josephine, Clara, Peter, Florence

1910s: Helen, Bernice, Selma, Genevieve, Dorothy, Louise, Josephine, Florence, Mary, Dolores, Joseph, Margaret

1950s: Linda, Kathryn, Diane, Susan, Jane

Kathryn is my mom, Florence is hers, and Salomea is my great grandma.


From my maternal grandpa's side...

1890s: Adolph, Manda, Susan, Roman, Edward, Marie, Helen

1890s: Leroy, Edwin, Marie, Lillian, Alexander

1920s: Raymond, Adolph, Jeanette

Lillian and Adolph are my great grandparents, Raymond is my grandpa.


I don't have a very well defined paternal family tree, so no good finds there. This is my dad and his siblings...

1950s: Margaret, Norbert (Jr.), Jean, Steven, Laura


Here are some other random sibling sets from the tree...

Felicitus, Thomas, Adele, Celeste, Caroline, Dennis, Bernadine, Alex, Rosalie

Lorette, John, Genevieve, Evelyn

Bernice, Adeline, Genevieve, Regina, John

Florence, Edward, Patrick, Frank, Louise, Anthony, Veronica, Jack, Geraldine


All of the Genevieve's are on my maternal grandmother's side of the family. They really liked that name!

Salomea (currently phonetically spelled as Solomiya) means "My Sun" and is still popular in parts of Ukraine bordering Poland.

Genevieve was a very popular Polish-American name in the 30's and 40's as were Stanley and Frank.
