[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tekla and Charlotte

[Rose Ingram]

Thank you to all who responded with suggestions and explanations.

I agree that there does not seem to be any connection between the two names. 
I think the person who recorded the 'Tekla' information may not have been 
listening to well, or might have been given the wrong name by one of the 
witnesses.   Both mothers are shown as Charlotte (as well as their maiden 
surname) on birth records of other children.
