I have an ancestor first and middle-named Franz Ludwig (aka Francis and Frank). The son has the same name, however the father is frequently noted as Ludwig and the son Franz/Frank. In the old german names in my line, the middle name is what they were generally known by. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
