A LOT of the names repeat multiple times- some you can tell here, but you can really see it when you see the rest of the family tree. which makes it sometimes really hard when i'm trying to do research on my family lol. but anyway, here are a list of names in his family, on his father's side. these names are from the late 1800s-1920/30s.

his great grandparents:  John & Martha Matilda
their children:
David James (my grandfather's grandfather)

Margaret

I love absolutely every one of these names except for Thelma, but even that I can stand.

yeah, i do not like Thelma... & the Martha Thelma, it's just too much, i think. if you say it fast enough, it can blend together lol.

so weird that they gave the same names to their kids e.g. andrew , margaret ^^

it must be so confusing !
