   Very early in my research I made the same basic mistake.  It never   
   occurred to me that the same combination of 3 names might not be unique   
   and the resources at my disposal at that time were limited.  It was only   
   when I came to an apparent brother-sister marriage that I realised I had   
   gone wrong!   
      
   Of course, it turned out that 2 cousins were perpetuating family names   
   and the "brother-sister marriage" was in fact the marriage of cousins.
