Subject: [PAYORK] Strange situation with baptisms, twins or same person???
Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2002 11:48:47 -0400


Yesterday I found records showing Emanuel and Henrietta (Shetter) Stough
had a daughter named Rosetta on 4 Dec 1864, and being baptized at
Quickel's on 22 Oct 1865. This came from the Private Register of Rev.
C.J. Deininger.

Now, I already had in my records that Emanuel and Henrietta had a
daughter named Sada, born on the same day. I show her baptism being 23
Oct 1889, as shown in Quickel's Church records.

At this time, I am unsure if they are twins, or possibly the same person
who was baptized 2 times. If they were twins, why didn't they get
baptized at the same time. If they are the same person, why were they
baptized 2 times.

Does anyone have church records to look for Sada's baptism on 23 Oct
1889? Maybe I wrote it incorrectly, but I just want to be sure. Does
anyone have any comments on this strange situation?
