Best Wishes, Geri -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Koerner Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2007 12:27 PM To: PALEHIGH-L Subject: [PALEHIGH] Early Custom Naming of Children Does some one know what was the custom of naming German children in the 1700's and 1800's. One custom I heard was the first born son was to honor the father's father , the second to honor the wife's father, then the third was to honor the father. It seem the female followed a similar custom. Are there any other customs? Gordon A.
