The other day, while “playing” on Ancestry.com (I say playing as I was just surfing, not expecting to find anything new) one of my Great Uncles, when a leaf link appeared. I clicked on the possible link and found a birth record for another sibling.
I’m very confused by this new information and very hesitant to add it to the family tree. For one thing, the birth is listed as April 1898. I find it very hard to accept as the mother had just given birth in October 1897 and has another known birth in Oct 1898.
Another confusing piece to this is the birth is listed as taking place in one community, but the certificate was issued in another town. I am writing to the town clerks in both communities to see if they will be able to help me in finding legible information - the copy shown on the webpage is very jumbled and distorted. My hope is that the initial information in one of the town clerk books will be clear and I can find out if there was indeed another child born to my great grandparents.
There is a 1st cousin 1x removed that may be able to assist me with some information, but he hadn’t shared information of this new person before, so I doubt it’s something he knows. Stay tuned...
Here's the info I have to work with...
