Jr.?
[edit]The article states his name is "Frederic Walker Lincoln, Jr.", yet he also apparently has a son named Frederic Walker Lincoln, Jr. and a grandson whose title article is Frederic W. Lincoln, Jr. (Although that article says his name is Frederic Walker Lincoln III)! I'm confused- how is this possible? Thesomeone987 (talk) 17:46, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Thesomeone987 The tradition is that while the father (senior) is alive the son is a Jr. when the father dies the son drops the Jr. and if there is a another son given the same name, he the (grandson) assumes the moniker of Jr., this can continue Ad infinitum DexterPG (talk)
