This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AN.2ADE/123.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Have you considered the idea that Gentry and Gertrude are the same person, especially since you say the names never appear together??
