I hope that the folks on this list might have some opinions on the following that they'd be willing to share with me. My husband's great grandparents, Isidor Alexander and Jeannette (Bloch) Weiller had 8 living children in 1900 according to census information. Four of their children were born in France, the others in New York City. The four born in New York were Regina in 1881, Alfred in 1884 and twins named Frederick and Annie born in 1887. I have not been able to find a birth record for Alfred or the twins but this evening, I stumbled upon IGI birth records for twins, Frederich and Anne Alexander born 07 Aug. 1887 in Manhattan to parents Philip Alexander and Rose Block. Isidor's first name has shown up as William, Theodore, and Merdore on census records and on his son's marriage record. Jeannette's first, maiden and last names have shown up as Jennet, Jeanette, Jenny, Weiler, Waller, Block and Ploch! (Jenny Ploch on her daughter's birth record.) Given all of this, what are the chances that the parents' names on the IGI record above are incorrect? It does seem a bit of astretch as I can't imagine where the names Philip and Rose would have come from. Would appreciate your thoughts. Ellen Alexander Jacksonville, FL
