Hi, I don't think you all are understanding what I'm trying to say. We have the same man and the same wife with the same children same dates and same places in the line of two different descendants of John Beatty and Jane Ross. One of these has to be wrong. BUT which one? He can descend from William or Alexander but he can not descend from both on only the male side... John Beatty Wife Jane Ross Child: James Beatty a wife Agnes Beatty Maiden name unknown. (He has another wife forget her) Children: William and Alexander William Beatty wife Mary McKee Alexander Beatty wife Agnes Beatty maiden name unknown Child of William: James Beatty wife Allie Ann Irwin; Child of Alexander: James Beatty wife Alice Ann Irwin HERE IS WHERE IT GETS COMPLATED>>>>>> Child of James Beatty Wife Allie Ann is George Washington Beatty wife Catherine Shrom Child of James Beatty Wife Alice Ann Irwin is George Beatty wife Catherine Shrom NOW I WOULD THINKTHIS IS THE SAME PERSON (WIFE).... COULD HAVE MARRIED COUSINS... BUT WOULD THEY NAME THIER CHILDREN THE SAME NAMES? WITH THE SAME BIRTHDATES? NO SHE COULDN"T BE MARRIED TO COUSINS OF THE SAME NAME AT THE SAME TIME AND GIVE BIRTH ON THE SAME DAYS AND NAME THE CHILDREN WITH THE SAME NAMES.... PLEASE ADVISE.... Nelda L.
