I have recently found that this field has no consequence to my research. This particular Charles HINTE is from the Oberhausen Branch of the HINTE surname & is not related to the Bremen branch of our surname as far as I can ascertain. It is very interesting that this particular Charles has the same birth month & other close similarities to the Charles that I am researching? It just goes to show How careful one needs to be in making assumptions!
Cheers, Bill HINTE
