[QUOTE="donna723, post: 417099, member: 1883"] I knew my paternal grandmother had two brothers - I never knew either one of them but I had heard of them. It wasn't until I started researching that I found out that there had been two other children in her family and both died in the same year. When my grandmother was five, her seven year old sister died and also a baby brother. It's hard to tell exactly how old they were or if they died at the same time because it doesn't give dates, just the year that they died. I haven't found the death records yet (if there are any) but so many died back then of typhoid or diptheria or pneumonia. And I never knew that my father, her oldest child, had been named after this baby brother that died. I doubt if my father even knew that! [/QUOTE]
