Thanks Linda. I've been looking everywhere for a death record, but no luck. My
g-grandmother was a sister of Peter Schommer (1826-1898). Even though I have no
hard proof, I think Petri 1799 - ? was their father. I do have hard proof of
some of Peter's (b. 1826) siblings, and they seem to fit perfectly. But the
hard proof for their father is not coming easy. They were German, and the whole
family seems to have been born in the Prussian area of Saarland.

Ed,My initial thought is that these are two different children. I would look
for a death record of the first one (b1799).But even if you don't find a death,
I would still keep them as 2 separate entities until you can prove differently.
Not sure what nationaliy you are working with but Peter (Petri) and Joseph
(Josephus) were both Saints names, so if they both survived childhood one might
be called Petri and the other Joseph. Or they could have been named after
grandfathers who had similar names. Just my 2cents worth.Linda

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Question on entries
Thank you very much for the replies. Although this was a gut feeling that they
were the same person, I did not throw out the possibility that they were
actually 2 different people. I know things much stranger than this will be
found in genealogy.
But the replies did give me things to consider, and I do appreciate that. Even
though I consider myself slightly above a rank beginner in genealogy, I know
I'n not beyond making a rookie mistake either. Thanks again.

Yes, what Jenny says is true -- if you don't list them as two separate people
I'd certainly add that possibility in the notes.

Although I have to question the source, I do have sources from
familysearch.org for siblings, one of which is almost certainly a direct
ancestor of mine. Here's the problem: These are from the same parents - one
name listed is Petri Schommer 1799 - ?. The other is Petri Josephus Schommer
(note name similarities) 1801 - ?. Both records were submitted by the same
contributor, on the same day. The only difference in citing the source (IGI
index) is that part of one citation is 2:1:MGHL, while the other is 2:1:MRSV.
My gut feeling is that one of these is wrong, and they are the same person.
This whole family is new for me, with the exception of my direct ancestor, b
1799. I have only secondary sources for the birth. I found six siblings.
Pertaining to entering this in a database, how would you handle that? I would
appreciate ideas, since I have not entered them yet.
Why do you believe that these two entries are the same person? It is not
uncommon (certainly in England) for a child to be given the same (or a similar)
name as an earlier sibling which died. I even have one instance of two
brothers being named Edward John and John Edward, both of them surviving
childhood. The patron who submitted these records obviously believed them to
be 2 different children and I would treat them as such until I could confirm
otherwise, but the priority would be to do my own research.
