Dee, It's not common but women have and do marry much younger men all the time.  Old geezers have done it for centuries, why not women?  Right?  My grandmother married a man 18 years her junior and they were married 35 years until she died.  Then when he became ill a few years later, he came to live with us until he died.  My mom and her brother always laughed that their "father" was just one year older than his "son" and three years older than his "daughter". I think some people enter names into their trees just to have a high count.  I've been asked by several people, "how many people do you have in your tree?" and, of course, I can't answer them because I don't keep count, and I have several different trees on my computer. On ancestry.com, all the "trees" I have there are private.  People have to contact me if they want information.  My reason for doing that is because my trees are a work in progress and there could be errors which I haven't caught yet.  I don't want anyone to copy my errors and post them all over the web for others to copy.  Since I work on trees for others, I try to keep things private and separate.  Maybe when I finally connect to Adam and Eve, I'll combine all my various trees into one. Ignore previous post.  I made an error in my first sentence and when I tried to erase it, I accidentally tapped the mouse on the "send" button and couldn't stop it from going to the list.

I know this is right I have the pics of them, I got first hand knowledge from her three granddaughters and her daughter-in-law who was the half sister of Johanna's husband Louis. So what it breaks down to is Johanna's third husband was her son's wife's half brother... Dee
