I have never met Walela Snowbird...she is a second cousin, I believe. I also have Uncle Ray Younger's notes, and he states very clearly that they saw Cole Younger briefly after one of Cole's lectures, compared family, and Cole joked that they might be "fifth cousins" or so....in other words a relationship was doubtful. Of course, none of them researched the probability. I also have Geneva Younger's research and a letter in which she states that our branch probably came from England and that Wilma Hillman confirmed this for her. Geneva and her daughter spent many years researching this Younger branch. Geneva is the daughter-in-law of Ernest Younger, son of James Williamson Younger. Geneva's research is on FamilySearch for all to see. I stated this privately to Linda, but I'll state it again publicly....I set out to prove that we WERE RELATED to the Younger brothers and found that we were NOT. It certainly is not a matter of wanting to be or not to be related to a gang of bank robbers and thieves. We can chose our friends but not our relatives. Have a good day!
