Twins & Triplets

 

These are monarch caterpillars growing on milkweed in my garden.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the baptism records it can be difficult to catch twin situations.  This is b/c often they each have their own record & sometimes the records can be separated in sequence by another baptism.  I generally make a long list on a ledger & so if I happen to see two kids with the same birth date and the same parents I can assume that they are twins.  Have to be careful though b/c sometimes a number of siblings with different dates of birth are all baptized on the same day.  And you can be a twin even if you were born on one day and your twin was born on the next day.
