Even though the 15th is the Ides of March, I didn't find any violent deaths in my family tree, which is a good thing. I did, however, find more twins, two sets for this day.
Births
Twins Susanna and William Zelley, children of Ridgway Zelley and Rebecca Gaunt, were born March 15, 1834, in New Jersey, probably in Burlington County. They are my 2nd cousins 3x removed via the Gaunts.
Mary Elizabeth Sellers, daughter of Faber Sellers and Rosina Elizabeth, was born March 15, 1862 in Potstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She is my 2nd cousin 3x removed.
David Michael Fitsimmons was born March 15, 1967. He is my 5th cousin 2x removed on my Gauntt line.
Shauna Leven was born March 15, 1981, probably in Manitoba, Canada. She is my 4th cousin on my Meckler line.
MaryLee Copestick was born March 15, 1985. She is my 2nd cousin once removed on my Sellers line.
Twins Dara Esther and Joseph Aaron Birnboim were born March 15, 2001 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They are my 4th cousins once removed on my Meckler line.
Marriages
Leonard Herr and Dorothy Gaynor, daughter of John Francis Gaynor and Wally Mary Ruppert, were married on March 15, 1952 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Dorothy is the grandaunt of my half-sister Laurie Sellers.
Raymond Harold Rudin and Ruth Garfinkel, daughter of Jack Garfinkel and Martha Freedman, were married on March 15, 1953 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Ruth is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Meckler line through the Garfinkels.
Peter E. Persoff, son of Jacob Persoff and Frieda Schneiderman, and Judy Lee were married on March 15, 1977 in Oakland, Alameda County, California. Peter is my 2nd cousin 2x removed via the Schneidermans.
Death
James Gaunt, son of Hananiah Gaunt and Rebecca Mulliner, died March 15, 1828 at the age of about 36 in New Jersey. He is my 3rd-great-granduncle.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
