Somewhere in my files I have the above chart, but cannot find it, and want to send it to someone just beginning in genealogy. I know the first son was named for father, second for mother, but I've forgotten the details. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance. Jean in California

Regarding Irish naming patterns: 1st son-named after fathers father 2nd son-named after mothers father 3rd son-named after father 4th son named after fathers eldest brother 1st daughter-named after mothers mother 2nd daughter-named after fathers mother 3rd daughter-named after mother 4th daughter-named after mothers eldest sister __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
