Bill Buchanan is a long-time genealogy enthusiast, living in Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada. This blog will describe my experiences as I research my family history and help others.
I am a retired online school teacher. I love family history. From 2007-2020, I spent much of my time providing part-time support for the world's largest free family history site https://familysearch.org This is very rewarding. I have helped others with the Family Tree and related FamilySearch products.
In 2010-2018 I served in the Edmonton_Alberta_Riverbend_Family_History_Centre..I have a FHC blog at Bill's Family History Center Blog Since 2020 I have been a family history consultant for Edmonton Alberta North Stake.

As I was doing some indexing this morning, I came across this "head scratcher".
Two children named Dirk Jacobus Coetsee were christened in the same ceremony. Fortunately the names of both sets of parents are given, but in later life it becomes a major challenge to know which one is which. Why give them the same exact name? I am sure the parents had their reasons, but for us as family history researchers it becomes a puzzle.
