It's strange that other researchers aren't aware of her. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were so easy to clarify individuals and relationships in families?!<br /><br />I didn't mention the questions I would ask Rebecca about her parents, siblings, and children. I wouldn't want her to think those were my only interests in visiting with her, but I would certainly want to learn as much about her family as possible, and especially her mother since there's some question about who she is.<br /><br />No, not just one ancestor -- just one at a time. If I chatted with too many at the same time or in quick succession, I might not keep all the information they share straight! I may turn this into a Sunday series so I could converse with more ancestors. If only!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-10050729459343741422015-06-01T08:25:17.947-04:002015-06-01T08:25:17.947-04:00I would chat with my husbands 3x great grandfather...I would chat with my husbands 3x great grandfather Thomas Coleman. I would first ask him his wifes name and who in the world was his father. I have theories who is father was and no idea about his wife. I have been searching for this information for years.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-333281768971320482015-06-01T06:56:02.825-04:002015-06-01T06:56:02.825-04:00One?

I'd certainly ask about her parents since Walker researchers don't seem to know of her existence. And I'd ask about some of the children who have presented such big question marks in my research. Like you, I'd like to know what it was like to live in the early 1800s when the country was still new. They were neighbors of James Madison and Zachary Taylor -- did they know them?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
