When
I was growing up when we referred to aunts and uncles, sometimes we
named the aunt first, but sometimes it was the uncle. Why was that?
From
my parents' siblings we had these at family gatherings:
Aunt
Vida and Uncle Fred (Johnson)
Aunt
Buena and Uncle Walt (Severy)
Uncle
Jerry and Aunt Ruth (Falk)
Aunt
Violet and Uncle Mel (Moorehead)
Aunt
Erma and Uncle Adolph (Grinde
From
my grandparents' siblings we talked about:
Uncle
Arthur and Aunt Della (Albertson)
Uncle
Ernest and Aunt Ollie (Albertson)
Aunt
Lake and Uncle Joe (Elliott)
Aunt
Celia and Uncle Clarence (Pettibone)
Uncle
Marvin and Aunt Evelyn (Smalley)
Aunt
Julia and Uncle Roy (Everett)
Uncle
Spike and Aunt Ruby (Smalley)
Uncle
Roy and Aunt Grace (Bond)
In
all these cases it was the sibling of parents and grandparents who
was named first. I wonder if this is the same in other families.
