   My wife's family has four generations of John George Hirsch.   The    
   father of John George is undocumented except on his death certificate.    
   On his death certificate it says that his father was John George Hirsch.   
      
   There are several online trees that have his father as some one else,    
   and I have found a record in Germany that list A John George Hirsch as    
   Heinrich.  There is a record for this JOhn George Hirsch comeing to    
   America in 1872 when records show my wife's John George immigrated.   
      
   Except for the death certificate it would be easy to accept one of the    
   other JOhn Georges as her ancestor.   
      
   One scenario where his father could be Heinrich and John George appear    
   on his death certificate would be:   
      
   That as the death record was being filled out the fact that ancestor    
   John George Hirsch had a son John George Hirsch and the recorder hear    
   that the ancestor's father was John George Hirsch.   
      
   Only time and research will prove the the actual father
