I have been researching my family's genealogy for about 40 years. I have visited cemeteries, city halls and libraries. I have filled many spiral notebooks with my discoveries.
It is surprising to find something new. It is a small thing but has given me a big smile.
I recently discovered that my great, great grandfather,
William Mark,
had a middle name!
William Flemming Mark
26 May 1844 OH - 21 Nov 1904 OH
Son of Abraham Mark & Mary Isabella Heffelfinger
Thanks to ancestry, I saw the record for his Baptism which includes his middle name.
Baptism: 3 Nov. 1845
Fun discovery! Do you think his middle name comes from a female ancestor's maiden name further back in the family tree?
