Identifying the children in a family may be somewhat easier if the
parents had a naming tradition. It is often an Irish practice and may not
always be strictly followed. Some communities reflect a practice of having
multiple names for family members.
Oldest son named after the Father's father
2nd son named after the Mother's father
3rd son named after the Father
4th son named after the Father's oldest brother
Oldest daughter named after the Mother's mother
2nd daughter named after the Father's mother
3rd daughter named after the Mother
4th daughter named after the Mother's oldest sister
2nd wife's oldest daughter named after the first wife, using her full
name
