June Celebrations Among Relatives and Ancestors

    June is a month with multiple events on several different dates among my relatives.
    I doubt my mom, Audrey, knew that she was born on the same day (different year) as Catherine Saylor, my father's great-grandmother, June 5, 71 years apart.
    And surprisingly, two people, Elizabeth Ann Meinzen and Ella Knapp, were married on their birthdays.  I don't see that happening very often.  Do you suppose it might help the husbands remember their anniversaries?
    Perhaps even more surprising is that Margaret Laws was born on the fourth anniversary of her parents, Robert and Elizabeth (Thompson) Laws.
