well with all due respect to Jane Austin, gratis-hired-hand for Stern, iirc, it was our own RTE66 that came up with the geneological research of Virgie’s family. I distinctly remember cringing with each post ;)
Nope, ‘twasn’t I. I had to throw in the towel on the Hogans/Harts/Smiths early on. I had a ton of the info gathered, but just didn’t want to do what I would have had to do to put it all together.
I don’t have any paid databases anymore, so whatever the pro genealogists came up with, I had to go with - unless I saw some mistakes - which I did - every single one of them has made them.
I am at a great handicap because this puter doesn’t play videos and I don’t have cable - but only because people have seen a lot of interviews that weren’t ever transcribed and with people whose names were never revealed. ANS *herself* isn’t *that* important to me, anyway, in the big scheme of things. She was the victim, not the perp.
It’s all the other “secret” or “invisible” connections that interest me more.
Anyway, I didn’t find that Celeria person, but leave it to someone trying to find “dirt” on Virgie to do so (with paid databases and a PI, no less). I don’t really go along with that. I certainly can’t look down my nose at her, by any stretch of the imagination - she’s much better off than I am - but there are also people you run across in life that just don’t need any more putting down by anyone, so I don’t really want to add to it.
ANS is a different matter, as are most of the rest of the cast of characters.
