This information came from the Mormon site. I was just trying to find out
more about Conrad Schiffer. He looked promising. I agree the naming of
children can be confusing if you are trying to prove grandparents. I find
the
naming of Henry and Margaret's children almost unbelievable.

First let me say I don't know that Conrad's wife was Rachael Ward - it is
just
the information as given. I just thought you should have this information
before
rather than after your trip.

Conrad & Rachael named no child after Rachael. Henry and Margaret named
no child after his mother Catherine or Rachael.

Also my ancestor named a daughter after his mother Maria Catherine but not
after his father Nicholas.
