I'm going to "cheat" a little bit here and include a few events from Friday rather than starting with Sunday. Once again putting these events together showed me something I hadn't realized. My great-grandfather was born on HIS father's 50th birthday. I hadn't ever noticed that the dates were the same.
May 23 ~ in 1823 John Ulrick SAURER was born in Canton Berne, Switzerland. In 1873, his son, John Frederick SAURER was born near Apple Creek, Ohio. [Picture - John F Saurer]
May 24 ~ in 1899 John Ulrick Saurer died in Apple Creek, Ohio.
May 27 ~ in 1867 my second great granduncle, John Hannington Auflick, was born in Pomeroy, Ohio.
May 28 ~ in 1808 Margaret Souter, my 3rd great grandaunt, was christened in Fife, Scotland. Also on this day in 1835, my 3rd great grandmother Louisa was born in Germany. I have yet to find her maiden name, but she married and arrived in this country as Louisa EICKELBERG. [Picture - Louisa Eickelberg, about 1918/20]May 30 ~ William August Henry NISSEN, who I believe was my great-grandma Nelle EICKELBERG'S first husband, died in 1962 in San Diego, California.
Hi Diana, your post today reminds me that I wanted to do this very thing. I think I saw it mentioned at Randy Seaver's blog, didn't I? Have a wonderful time at the OGC Conference. Can't wait to hear all about it.

I often come across ancestors with common birthdays with my family today. I can't believe it but according to my family tree program and website I don't have any birthdays from May 26- June 24 with over 1300 people in the database. Gotta plan for those babies when the farm work is finished I guess.
