Whodunit and whowasit?
I suspect that hobby genealogists are really detectives at
heart who have grown up to be something else. There are certainly enough
mysteries to solve and wonderful new discoveries to be made.
Like everyone else, I have run into a few mysteries in my
family tree that keep me awake at night. The answer is out there somewhere
and I hope that by sharing information with others researching the same problem,
we will find the answers.
I have also inherited boxes of old photos from the second
half of the 19th century, most of them unmarked. It has been a giant
puzzle to identify them. In many cases, I have succeeded, but a few remain
a mystery. Have a look! Maybe
you will find a relative.
