Perhaps it’s a mistake in some cases but I can tell you I have seen it in
my tree.

Maria de Jesus will marry a man whose mother is Maria de Jesus and they
will have a daughter Maria who later becomes Maria de Jesus. Besides which
each Maria de Jesus probably has a sister and a child and an aunt who is
Ana de Jesus. And they probably all married men named Manuel or Jose.

I have seen certain first names popular in a village during certain eras,
too.

Of course it’s best to confirm that it wasn’t a mistake! It’s friustrationg
but also comforting that even the priests had trouble keeping things
straight...
