Events in My Family Tree: July 12

It's interesting when you notice what things happened on the same day.  Two of my cousins, on unrelated lines, were born the same day.  One cousin was getting married while another passed away the same day, both in Burlington County (and they're actually 2nd cousins once removed themselves).

Births

Roy Birnboim, son of Menashe Birnboim and Sophie Garfinkel, was born July 12, 1937 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.  He is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Meckler line through the Garfinkels.

James David Gauntt, son of Thomas Franklin Gauntt and Anna Marie Stayton, was born July 12, 1942 in New Jersey, probably in Burlington County.  He is my 1st cousin once removed on my Gauntt line.

Leonard Isaac Leven, son of David Leven and Esther Garfinkel, was born July 12, 1951 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.  He is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Meckler line through the Garfinkels, just like Ray Birnboim (above).

James D. Wickham, Sr., son of Robert Edward Wickham and Patricia Hehir, was born July 12, 1958, probably in New Jersey.  He is the 3rd cousin of my half-sister Laura Sellers on her Bowen line through the Wickhams.

Twins Douglas Jay Cook and Theodore Ray Cook were born July 12, 1967.  They are my 5th cousins 2x removed.

Julia Claire Kushner was born July 12, 1983.  She is my 4th cousin once removed.

Benjamin Scott Parker was also born July 12, 1983, but he is my 5th cousin 2x removed.

Morgan Ryan Fiks was born July 12, 1984.  He is my 4th cousin once removed.

Marriages

Thomas Franklin Gauntt, son of Thomas Kirkland Gauntt and Jane Dunstan, and Anna Marie Stayton were married July 12, 1935 in New Jersey, probably Burlington County.  Thomas is my granduncle, and his son James (above) was born on his seventh wedding anniversary.

Daniel Ryan Wright and Megan Elizabeth Ranck were married July 12, 2003.  Daniel is my 6th cousin.

Deaths

Harry Hobart Gauntt, son of Garrett H. Gauntt and Phyllis Sanderson, died July 12, 1935 near Stevens Station, Burlington County, New Jersey at the young age of 17.  He is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Gauntt line.

Mable Louise Wickery, daughter of Lewis C. Wickery and Dora Helen Gaunt, died July 12, 1980 in Orange County, California at the age of 60.  She is my 4th cousin 2x removed via the Gaunts.
