The question/mystery that is constantly turning in the back of my mind is what happened to my 4x great-grandfather? Why did he just disappear? It’s a problem I have been researching for twenty years now. Sometimes it wakes me up in the middle of the night, brain just constantly working over that problem that I have not been able to solve. In fact, I’m going to go upstairs right now and start working through a stack of film records...
We had one ancestor who died in the 1800’s in Scotland on a train that got socked in with fog so it stopped, he had been drinking whiskey and thought now’s a good time to take a whiz.
Stepped off the train and fell 100 feet off the trestle to his death, whiskey bottle and pecker in hand...
Mystery solved...
