The Isaacs and Jacobs

Profiles & Occupations

I have always had difficulty in distinguishing and remembering one Isaac and Jacob from another.  This can lead to confusion in identity between branches of the family.

To give each a clear identity without constant reference to DOB I have suffixed each in chronological order. Thus Jacob [1]  and Isaac [1] are the Jacob and Isaac, sons of Jean THEVELIN, born respectively in 1651 and 1654.

Isaac[1] to Jacob[4]

We use this method of identification to avoid confusion between the many Isaacs and Jacobs. It is especially useful when the birth year of cousins is very close. They are numbered in sequence of birth from the Isaac[1] and Jacob[1], sons of Jean THEVELIN.
