'No other object than to puzzle genealogists'
I came across the following in the Visitation of Norfolk 1563 (publication date 1895)
"Nicholas Mynne, Esq., was of Little Walsingham, who belonged to a malignant family who christened their sons Nicholas again and again with no other object than to puzzle genealogists". |

Lol!
I investigated a French family in the late 1700s. All the males were called Jean Paul, all the females Marie Claire. OC |

It doesn't seem to be in the book. Where did you find it?

Though what the author may have meant was the difficulty in distinguishing between father, son and possibly grandsons.

Hilarious and I'm sure it is true for many families.

My Grants have three daughters, two sons (or the other way round, not on my computer). Girls were all Isabel Gordon Grant, boys, Robert Gordon Grant. They all married Gordons.
