The births of William & Joseph need to be validated. They are listed as 16 days apart. Although Williamis listed with a mother of Johanna. Maybe they are half brothers. Their other certificates put them together as having the same parents and all registered on the same date of 4/21/1870.Leonard's birth certificate needs to be validated. My notes and the genweb are 2 years apart
