Sometimes 'what's in a name' may be the difference in finding ancestors or not. In my own family, my only clue to Joseph Smith's origins was in the census, where he was said to have been born in Pa....but, where does one start looking for a Joseph Smith born in the 1700s, in some unknown place in PA?....... Later, I decided that his sons had somewhat unusual names....Alexander Finley Smith and Andrew Duncan Smith... I theorized that these boys were named for specific men...so, I researched for those men and not the Smiths..... I found them both is a Presbyterian congregation in York Co, Pa, and there were the Smiths, AND the family of Joseph's wife, Roseanne Baxter, all their baptism & marriage dates, etc. So, while not named for family members, their names were extremely important to me, as a researcher. (the 3rd son was named Ferdinand Spangler Smith...boy, how'd you like to get stuck with THAT one! I did find the original Ferdinand in the area, but not in the same church...so, a friend? a neighbor? Some close, albeit it NOT a family tie.) S.
