Have you ever felt that you don't want to work because you had a bad experience the day before?
I had a massively confusing day doing family trees yesterday. Apparently this man named August had two wives. OR there were two men named August born in the same year and the same place.
He married his first wife, Martha, in Chicago in 1883, and married the second one, Anna, in Germany in 1886 and then moved to Chicago with her.
August has at least two children that pre-date his marriage to his first wife.
His first wife had children with the same names as those listed with the second wife, with one or two exceptions.
All of the children born to the second wife were born after her marriage, so that part makes sense.
The son of the second wife, Paul Henry, born in 1891, is listed in California death certificates as the son of the first wife, Martha.
In the end, I had to create them as two separate families, with two fathers, both named August. But I was NOT happy.
