Thanks to Tom Roux, I now have death dates for some of my Syracuse relatives. One, Charlotte Jaeger Weinheimer, died in 1933, leaving (among others) a surviving daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jaeger. In 1908, Elizabeth was listed in her father's (Hilarius Weinheimer) obit as Mrs. Henry Yeager.
Now in checking the 1900 & 1910 censuses for Henry Yeager/Jaeger/Yaeger in Syracuse I found a likely match. (wifes name same, and appropriate age, etc). 9 children are listed in 1910 - 4 pairs of them the same age.. thinking this could be incorrect, I checked the 1900 census, and found 7 children listed, based on birthdates listed in the census .. apparently 3 sets of twins.It is likely that the 2 children of same age born between 1900-1910 are also twins.

Since this is obviously a pre-fertility drugs-era, would there have been news articles about this family - especially Elizabeth Yaeger/Jaeger/Yeager having birthed 4 sets of twins?
Twins were born in Dec 1891, Nov 1893, Jan 1898, and ca 1900-1901. Thanks for any leads anyone can provide.

I'm also wondering how Elizabeth's husband Henry is related to her mother (maiden name Jaeger) . In addition, does the fact that Elizabeth went from being called Mrs Henry Jaeger in 1908, to Mrs Elizabeth Jaeger in 1933, mean she divorced Henry, or she's now a widow?
