Round 5 table of contents:

2. Examples and explanations of families and what you can do
3. Deciding what you are having (boy, girl, twins, adopting)
4. Names to choose from
5. Story of last round
6. Survey (optional but it helps me)
7. Families sorted by user names (may be some notes to inviduals)

---

IF YOU WANT ANSWER ALL OR PART OF THE SURVERY BELOW THE NAMEBANK ABOUT HOW YOU ARE LIKING THIS CONGRATS GAME.
(Besides that you do not have to send anything extra like numbers)

---

Remember that you can either continue with one pair of parents or if you do not want any more children from that pair, one or more of the children can get married. It has been four years since the last birth if you are continuing with one pair of parents. If not, you can choose the amount of years. I will not change your ages if you have them because I do not know which way you want to go. If you have a boy, you can have a boy for two pairs of parents if both got married. Parents from the second generation do not have to have a kid every round, there brothers or sisters can as long as at least one child is born each round. If you want to you can write a story in the past, present, or future about your family like birth announcements, marriage stories and announcements, holiday cards, or just information on the family.

---

Here is an example of some formats that you can have so far (you can have middle names):
Same pair all along::
User name: example
Last name: Rogers
DH: George
DW: Mary
DD: Linda
DS: Franklin ------
DS: Lucas
DS: Joseph
DD: Louise

---

Married one couple this round:
User name: example
Last name: Rogers
DH: George
DW: Mary
DD: Linda DH: Lewis Smith (remember the last name)
-----L+L’s kids: Peter Smith
DS:Franklin
DS: Lucas
DS: Joseph
Married one couple fourth round:
User name: example
Last name: Rogers
DH: George
DW: Mary
DD: Linda DH: Lewis Smith
-----L+L’s kids…Peter
Katherine
DS: Franklin
DS: Lucas

---

Married one couple fourth round, one this round and each couple are having a daughter:
User name: example
Last name: Rogers
DH: George
DW: Mary
DD: Linda DH: Lewis Smith
------L+L’s kids: Peter Smith
Katherine Smith
DS: Franklin DW: Jessica Winter
------F+J’s kids: Allison Rogers

---

Now, to see what you are having, finish the statement:
My middle name (or the second letter of your first name if you do not have a middle name) starts with:
A-D
Congratulations on having a daughter!
E-J
Oh my, you having twins- 1 boy and 1 girl!
K-M
It’s a boy!
N-R
You are the proud mother/ father of a son!
S-Z
You are adopting 1 or 2 children. Decide their ages and stories if there is one. If you want explain about them in your writing!

---

In round 4, I asked you to pick one number that is from 1-12 and five numbers that are from 1-100. The first number meant what decade I was to choose the other five numbers from. 1 was the 1890s, 2 was the 1900s, 3 was the 1910s…12 was so far in the 2000s.
The other five numbers that were from 1-100 were the popularity of the name. 1 was the most popular name for each gender for that decade.

---

This round you have a lot of names to choose from, hurray! They are all of the names from the numbers from last round. You have to use exact spelling and form because there are so many. For those who did not remember, I did random numbers but I will not write who did choose it. If you were curious what names you picked, I put the person or people’s game number besides the name. Your numbers are the alphabetical order and are by your user names for the family lists.

STORIES OF THE WEEK:
One of these is done by Rowena and the other by Estel. Estel’s is in the Civil War (1861). Great job! Also check out Caroline Mae’s baby announcement from the fourth round or if she replies this round with one. I would post it, but my computer will not let is show up. Here is her family and story from last round:
16. User Name: Rowena
Last Name: Kedzierski
DH: Apolinary B³a¿ej "Pol" (42)
DW: Mieczys³awa Klementyna "Mieczys" (41)
AD: Sophie Violet (23) DH: Nathaniel Jethro Breckenridge (28)
---DD: Jemma Noelle (NB)
DS/DD: Julius Frederick / Violenta Ingrid (22)
AS: Grant Maxwell (22)
AS: Evander Ezra (21)
DS: Luther Joseph (17)

---

It has been 17 years since Luther was born and Mieczys became a full time mom. Now everyone is all grown up and starting their own lives. Sophie is a Kindergarten teacher in the town that she grew up in. Sophie started dating Nathaniel at the age of 21 when she met him at a class in the local college (He enjoys taking classes once in a while to have fun). They were engaged and married within one year of meeting each other. Mieczys and Pol were skeptical about how fast things were going, but deeply loved Nathaniel and put their trust in him and Sophie. One year after marrying, on Christmas Day, Sophie gave birth to a beautiful baby girl whom they named Jemma Noelle. Jemma was 8 pounds, 3 ounces and 21 inches at birth.

---

Julius, a very serious and studious young man, has already received his 2nd degree in Wildlife Biology. He worked very hard and is dedicated to helping out as many animals/plants/environments in the wild as possible.

---

Violenta always seemed to feel like she was in Julius's shadow, therefore she went a totally opposite route of his own. She entered beauty school at the age of 18 and is now an excellent hair and make up artist. Yet Violenta always seemed to want something more than the small town they lived in could give her. She packed up and moved to LA at the age of 19. Rumor is that she's seeing someone, but she's being secretive.

---

Grant has followed in his adoptive father's footsteps and is now helping out at a new branch of his bakery. He has the honor of running the shop on his own, without his father's help. He does have one helper, a very sweet widow with two children. Mieczys is hoping for wedding bells and wedding cake (which she'll make of course, lol).

---

Evander is hell bent on becoming a ladies' man. He is currently at the state college two hours away and is spending 75% of the time concentrating on the ladies and 25% of the time concentrating on his school work. He brings a new girl home to meet the family every month or so. Mieczys doesn't know what to do with him and knows it's useless to try.

---

Luther... the fierce and independent one. His motto is: “To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” (E.E. Cummings) Luther is fiercely determined to make his own path and fight his own battles in life. He doesn't let what anyone else thinks make him feel bad or make him be any other way than how he is. Now that he's in his last year of high school, he is looking toward to going to college to become a journalist.

ESTEL’S:
8. User Name: estel
Last Name: Baker
DH: William Henry "Wil" (41)
DW: Mary Josephine (39)
DD: Rosaline Belle "Rosie" (20)
---DH: Saul Frederick Jackson (23)
---DS: Shawn Fisher (nb)
DS: Isaiah Henry (18)
DS/DS/DS: William Jonah "Liam", Landon Jude, and Adam Malachi (15)

---

I pick #4
Numbers: 34, 35, 37, 87, and 91.

---

It has been fifteen years since the triplets were born. Mary and Wil were not able to have any more children, but they love the five that they were blessed with. Sixteen months ago, on June 1, 1862; their first and only daughter, Rosie, was married. Six weeks later, her husband, Saul Jackson, enlisted in the Union Army. Rosie has only seen Saul twice since he enlisted almost a year and a half ago. She was elated when her son, Shawn Fisher Jackson was born last month. She does not yet know whether Saul knows his son was born: the last letter she received from him was postmarked South Carolina. Rosie has moved back in with her parents and younger brothers until Saul returns from the war. Everyone hopes that it will be over soon.

---

Isaiah has also enlisted in the Union army. Three days after he turned 18, he enlisted and departed for Georgia. Isaiah has grown into a wonderful young man. He is basically a carbon copy of Wil and looks just like him. When Isaiah returns from the war, he will start his own furniture building business. He does not wish to farm, but its okay because Landon wishes to take over the farm. Isaiah has also left his sweetheart here in Ohio. Her name is Betsy Fairchild. She is a very sweet girl, also 18, who loves Isaiah dearly and would be crushed if anything happened to him. They plan to court officially after Isaiah returns and get married.

---

Liam, Landon, and Adam are 15. They have always been very adventurous and spontaneous. All three are very active and play off of each other and make the Baker household a very interesting place. Liam is very scholarly. He loved school and wishes that he could continue his schooling, but is needed on the farm. When he turns 18, Liam plans to go to medical school in New York City. Landon loves the earth. He is going to inherit and continue working Wil’s farm. He has always been interested in farming and the outdoors. Landon already has his eye on one of the girls in town to marry, but won’t go courting until Wil gives the okay. Adam is the most adventurous and boisterous of the triplets. He enjoys showing off and can be a bit of a daredevil. He longs to follow his big brother off to war, but Wil has forbidden it until he turns 18.

---

Wil and Mary have done a good job of raising their children and are looking forward to years of spoiling grandchildren and retiring. Of course, they will be the first to tell you that they have many good years left. Wil has loved working the farm and has done excellently. He has been able to provide whatever the family needed or wanted, but has also contributed to the community. Mary is a well-respected member of the community. She loves children and has become a sort of “grandmother” to many of the town’s children. She is sad to see her children grow up and leave her, but loves her new role as grandmother to Shawn (Rosie’s son).

Great writing! The answers to your questions are:
No, I do not think you should have a gay relationship because some people on this congrats I think will be uncomfortable with that.
Yes, that perfectly fine about the widow. You may choose the names from the namebank on this round since there are a lot of names in addition to the baby. Lol, it’s okay!
