What numbers or dates keep coming up in your family line?

Asked by smilingheart1 (6439points) October 14th, 2011

Recurring dates or numbers happen in many families. For example, you might find that your son was born on the same date as great grandpa and then a study of family history reveals more of a pattern with dates or numbers. Do you have some of these?

Do you have a “lucky” number?

Well, almost every family has September babies.

My family has a lot of January and February babies actually. Not exact dates, but those months.

I don’t have a lucky number, but I have numbers I like. 42, 18, 24.

It’s so strange! It seems everyone in our family has been born on either a Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and any one of the numbers between 1 and 31!

My family of origin had birthday month pairs: Dad and older brother in March; Mom and sister in December; younger brother and me in May.

But no patterns exist amongst my kids and their mom and me.

@Blackberry, it could be the 12th of Never and we’d still be loving YOU.

Number 5 and multiples of number 5 plus May as the 5th month comes up a lot in births, deaths, marriages.

Yes, we have LOTS of them @smilingheart1. Most of my family is born in May & Nov…but there are a few select dates outside of those months that run through our family tree.

Not so much my family, but my own birthday is 8–2-82 at 2 minutes to 2pm. Not especially relevant anymore, but my parents love to throw in that I was baptized 8–22-82 at 2pm.

Both my mother and maternal grandmother died on Jan. 25.
It’s an omen. lol

Over 50% of the birthdays in my family fall on the 12th of any given month.
