    I'm Soooooo confused!!!!!!!!!!!

    As some of you know I have been working (off and on) on my family tree I come from 2 very large families my mom was one of 15 and my dad was one of 12. I have gone as far as I can on my dads side to 1784 Tazwell Va

    on my moms Side I have trace the family over 3 countries the US, Russia, and Germany ( I have not even began to add all the family members that I know about in my moms family tree. I only have about 1/4 of my cousins done I have all my uncles and aunts. but as I was adding names to the family going back to Russia I got sooooooooo confused. I had to make a phone call to help me un-confuse myself.

    I have always know that my great grandparents on my grandfathers side were 3rd cousins and that they both had the same last name. my confusion started with their fathers Johannes and yep Johannes no wonder I could only remember one name for my great great grandfather. My Uncle cleared it up for me when he said the 2 johannes we called red Johannes and Johannes don't ask me which one is which though that i am still confused about.

    But that was only the beginning of my confusion when I got to where they were actually related was when it became totally confusing
    Franz Peter was Married to Anna Maria M
    thier son Andreas was married to Anna Maria D
    and their son Johannes was married to yep Anna Maria D
    his brother Franz was married to yep another Anna Maria R
    by the way just to throw this in the mix Johannes and Franz had a sister yep you got it Anna Maria B just in case you were worries there is another sister name Maria Anna
    Thank goodness Franz and Anna Maria R son
    Franz married Eva Von Feldt
    but their son OH NO another Johannes married wait for it can you guess YES!!! another Anna Maria oh no!!! is OMG!! von feldt

    now lets see if I can figure this out Johannes and Anna Maria Von Feldt are my Great great grandparents

    now on my Great grandmothers side other then a few Johannes there is a Catherina, a Catharina, and a Catherine this is was a little less confusing.

    I am just plain scared to work on my maternal grandmothers family

    lol I think I will go back to adding my cousins for a while there are only about 30 more to add then their spouses before I have to start adding their kids and if I hurry no babies will be born before I get done.

    wait does anyone remember my name lol
