Didn't they some times refer to them as John the younger instead of Jr? And when did Jr become the Senior and his son become Jr? Oh boy! Do we have a lot to worry about!

If one knows the year of arrival, and the port, are there ships lists that would name them? I've found my Palatine immigrants in 1710 but no record of those who reportedly sailed out of Glasgow

And don't forget John the 2nd.....lol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen McMillan" <diggingupbones@cfl.rr.com> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 2:23 PM Subject: [Boyd] Jr and the younger > Didn't they some times refer to them as John the younger instead of Jr?

And early on Jr. did not mean the son of someone, just the younger person. Sometimes the "Sr." was an uncle or cousin!!!
