Re: Wilhelmine's visit home

aaaaargh between not using first names and everyone having THE SAME NAME, I am perpetually confused :P :)

If it makes you feel better, so are the historians! We've now seen MacDonogh confuse Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel-Bevern (Fritz's wife) with Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (FW2's wife)*, as well as Fritz's brother Heinrich with Fritz's nephew Heinrich, and I've seen Peter Keith and Robert Keith confused by the editor of the Allergnädigster Vater volume, who indexes a reference to "Keith" under the entry of the more famous Peter instead of Robert.

* Just to keep things exciting, there was also an Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was MT's mother and the aunt of Fritz's wife EC.
