On my family tree I have two brothers both living in New Jersey in the same local area. One was called Louis and his brother was Jacob L or JL and for a period of time JL also called himself Louis. So I have two brothers inthe same local area using the same name. Try and sort that one out on things like the Census ... its enough to drive you to drink!
