My family followed it also, and that is my mystery-on the gravestone it says my g.g.grandfather 's parents were Patrick and Ann "Mary"---but I find no records for those name-I do however find James and they named oldest son James-second son Hugh (after her father)-so I wonder if his sons had correct info when he died. I have found so many mistakes in names and dates from Family records--but I am not sure -they named first daughter after wife's Mother and second after his Mother--so it would seem the eldest named James would be after father's Dad. It just seems when you see a name engraved on the grave stone-it should be correct! Have any of you ever had this happen with names back in the early 1800's in Ireland? Helen
