Saturday Night Fun Flag day Birthdays

1) Are there persons in your genealogy database that has the same exact birth date that you do? If so, tell us about him or her - what do you know, and how is s/he related to you?

2) Are there persons in your database that are your ancestors that share your birth day (but not the year)? How many, and who are they?

3) Are there other persons in your database that share your birth day (but not the year)? How many, and who are they?

4) For bonus points, how did you determine this? What feature or process did you use in your software to work this problem out? I think the Calendar feature probably does it, but perhaps you have a trick to make this work outside of the Calendar function.

5) Share your answers on your own blog,

No I am the only one born on June 14th the year I was born
Not a single ancestor was born on June 14th
Yes I have living cousins that were born in June 14. I won't give their surnames since all are living. Brandon born 1987 2nd cousin 2 times removed; Pamela born 1965 2nd cousin once removed; Kathy born 1962 2nd cousin once removed; and Fred husband of first cousin once removed
I did use the calendar

Saturday Night Fun Middle Name

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music):

1) What is your middle name? Do you know why your parents gave it to you?

2) Do you have ancestors with your middle name as part of their name?

3) Tell us about it in your own blog post

Been a while since I did a Saturday night fun post. My middle name is Michael named after my grandfather Anton Mikkel Hansen. Anton's father was Hans Mikkelsen, and his father was Mikkel Madsen, so Michael or Mikkel the Danish spelling is popular in my family.
