One father is an "alternate" and the other is "preferred." Now guess which one is "preferred." Go ahead, guess. All right, I'll give you a hint. The answer is the same for all of them but is a biological impossibility for 2, possibly 3, of them.
So this person thought, "Hmmm, I'm not sure which of these Joseph Renvilles is correct so I'll add them both." Not unusual. Many of us might have done the same thing. We'd take notes. We'd follow the trail. When we felt confident about our conclusion we would delete one profile. Hopefully most of us would reach that conclusion just by comparing birth dates. Potty training and becoming a father should be separated by more than a year.
All that's left is Tokanne's timeline and then you can go get that ice pack for your head.

  1. Love the line "Potty training and becoming a father should be separated by more than a year." Awesome.

  2. I just found your blog through Geneabloggers. There certainly are some events that make you question the accuracy of the timeline.
