Tootsie, My husband Russell Baker, son of George D Baker who was the son of Daniel Baker had a cousin ,who died recently, named Meredith Baker daughter of Edgar McLinn Baker and Bessie V. Cooper. Meredith married Leo Shumaker (parents not in my file). They had Carolyn Shumaker who married Charles Compher and a son Ronnie Shumaker who married Ruth??? According to my genealogy program my husband is 1st cousin once removed,4th cousin once removed and 5th cousin once removed to Meredith Baker Shumaker's children. See how complicated this gets? Michael Cooper,Russell Baker's 4th great grandfather had a daughter Charlotte Cooper who married ???? Shoemaker. Her brother Jacob Cooper married Anna Barbara Shoemaker. They had nine children. I think that a name that ends in erin means that the person referred to is female. Hope this helps Mimi
