[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tidbits of Info

[Donne, Alexsana]

Is there a set of guidelines somewhere for beginning genealogists? I
discovered naming a child after a previous child by accident in my
searches, along with certain family names being handed down over and
over and over again.

Thanks,
Lexi

Hi Jerry                                              
         
  I saw a comment you made at some web site which said
it was common practice to name a child after a
previous dead child with the same name.I found this
very helpful and it answered some puzzles for me. I
would like to know how you knew this. Is it something
you read or just knew due to your heritage? It's
little clues like this that can be very helpful. If it
is something you read, there may be other helpful
clues as well.
