The last thing that I worked on was about three weeks ago when my brother asked for a biographical sketch of someone in our cousins' family. I had it all written, then discovered there were two men of the same name. That's when I walked away for a while. I need to get back to it. I really dislike the same name challenges. -

Assumed the older had died, but she appears later on the records when she married. Younger one, nothing.

@beisbolcards That's really unusual. Were they both Maria? I've seen that in Catholic records.

Both are Maria Ysabel.
The latter one born 25 years after her oldest maternal sibling.
I would imagine there are wrong names in baptism records as the ones you can find in death records, but those would be harder to prove.
