Hello Everyone, Just had an email from Lanita asking me to post something soooo Here we go. Tell us about your most Elusive` Ancestor, what steps you took to` find him/her. Everyone has at least one!!!! Let us hear from you. Here is what I am talking about......   MY ELUSIVE ANCESTOR I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him still.  He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will.  He married where a courthouse burned. He mended all his fences.  He avoided any man who came to take the U.S. Census.  He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame.  And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name.  His parents came from Europe. They should be upon some list  Of passengers to U.S.A., but somehow they got missed.  And no one else in this world is searching for this man.  So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can.  I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed; But the weather took engraving, and some vandals took the rest.  He died before the county clerks decided to keep records.  No Family Bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts.  To top it off this ancestor, who caused me many groans,  Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named JONES.    author unknown OK MO-OREGON LISTERS...."Lets Rock and Roll" How's that Lanita???
