Morris (Maurice) Shapiro from Poland

The coinciden is interesting.
I had a grandfather named Morris Shapiro.
He was from Poland
My grandmother, his wife, was named Bertha.
There the similarity ends.
As far as I know she moved to Wasington, D.C., circa 1912, was married 3 times (last names Shapiro, Shulman (spelling?), and Shapiro, in that order. I don't know her maiden name.
Another concidence: a brother of mine is named Maurice (and out of touch with the family). We never understood why Maurice rather than Morris, since he was born after the 1927 death of my grandfather.
Hope was can make something of this!
