WTH was his mother thinking when she named him?!

Those were considered perfectly fine names in those days.

Maybe "Ick" to you but Enoch has it's origins in the Bible (1st mention of Enoch was the son of Cain, the second was a town, the third was through the line of Seth (3rd son of Adam & Eve)). Elmer is of Old English origin meaning noble. So not a bad name when put into context.

Cindy - where did Cain find someone to marry & have a child with if his parents were the first two people on earth & they only had sons?

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
