Kathy, I thought it was Rick Pimentel who had a couple of Manuels who both lived. I think it's pretty rare, but it did happen. On the boys, I'd check the obits for the older son first before scouring the marriages for the older son. Debbie, the *general* rule that is taught is the birth of the

Cheri I’m sure you’re right but I am someone that has two Manuels, both lived, and had families…… Not sure if I’m the example you mentioned or not? When I first discovered this, I assumed the first Manuel had died. I knew the second Manuel had lived …. he married the sister of his oldest
