I recently find in my father's mother's line (Moore) is her aunt was member of Dalton Gang , according to Emmett Dalton's book about the hard cases. Emmett gives her as Eugenia Moore , .. I have some letters and I think one from Eugenia from I.T. to her family (my father's grandmother) here in MO. I think it is good that we do not (R.I.P.) let them be forgotten.>> Richard, that is so true and I think that's what keeps it interesting! Is there anything about Emmett Starr in Dalton's book? I ran across something on some Creek testimony in Okmulgee, OK IT last week and I keep wanting to think he was a known western character. Come to think of it, I guess I could just google that name. Anyway, I do agree wholeheartedly with you about the skeletons out of the closet. I think because of internet research and the world seeming to be so much smaller nowadays, the later generations are not so hung up on proving how prestigious and important their ancestors were and are accepting the facts, good or bad, and this has in turn made us all much more tolerant........at least I like to think so :-) Regards, Evelyn
