Just because Grandma’s story sounds “off,” don’t conclude it is wrong. My grandmother told me that she could remember getting baptized with her younger sister. I never argued with her about it, but I doubted it–Lutherans were baptized as babies. Sure enough, for some reason (not the lack of a minister in case someone suggests it), Grandma was baptized at the age 5 or so, with her sister and baby brother. Turns out she was right after all. However, she was wrong about her brother’s middle name, but that’s another story–and another tip. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
