In my grandmother's notes there is a symbol like the '#' sign, except the 2 vertical lines are about
45 degrees and the horizontal lines remain the same. This symbol is between 2 families of the same last name, however, there isn't any connection between the two. Does this symbol means they are related but a generation or two has been skipped? Any info would be sincerely appreciated. Also,
this symbol is stretched out, it doesn't look like the usual # at all.
