If you could ask a question of anyone in your family tree who is deceased, who and what would it be?

Question

My question would be to my great-great-great grandmother Marie Louise Dupuis: Who were your parents? (I have been searching for over 5 years).

Answer 1

I would ask my gr/gr/gran where my gr/gr/grandad was when their marriage ended, did he die, DID they DIVORCE, her son my gr/grandad was a bigamist. I just don't know what happened to gr/gr/grandad.
Why don't you ask the question about your ggg grandmother, on here,now just edit your question I am sure you will get the answer, there are some excellent researchers that frequent this forum.

Answer 2

Ah, my parents' grandmother (each): who were your parents? And for 5 gens back, surname for each parent, again, who were your parents?
It is so frustrating! Of course, ALL surnames change spelling over time; records were destroyed during the Civil War; and different nationalities had different ways of passing surnames down (which the Spanish and Norwegian folks know full well) and some countries did not have surnames that far back.
Guess I'll never know, but I WILL keep looking.

Answer 3

There are several, I suppose. I would ask Alexander Richardson who his parents were. I cannot find record that he even existed before he married and had kids of his own. He is my g-g-g grandfather.

I would ask my 14th great-grandmother, Agnes Blewitt who is really the father of her son, Richard Edwards. Her husband William Edwards would not claim Richard as his, but did claim their first 2 sons. It was suspected, though not historically documented, that Agnes had an affair with King Henry VIII. It is somewhat documented that King Henry was fond of this child of Agnes', but he also never claimed this child as his son either.

Answer 4

I would ask my great great grandfather who his parents were and what his life was like prior to the marriage to my great great grandmother, Matilda at the age of 40!

Answer 5

I would ask my Great Grandmother why in 1913 she travelled from South Wales to Michigan in the USA.

Answer 6

I would ask my great , great, great, greatgrandfather,
How did we get our roots so twisted up?
Look at our tree now.

I believe that we all have lost sight of our roots and who we are.
We are still products of that same seed of which all mankind stems"no pun intended.
I to am searching for my roots but just how far back can we go and still be positive .

Answer 7

My great grandfather Joseph Rader, the question would be who exactly is your father and where can I find proof of this.

OR my 4 great grandfather and again I'd ask who his parents and grandparents on both sides are.

Answer 8

I would ask my great great grandfather who his parents and siblings are. I have been stuck for years on this one because too many people have the same name.

Answer 9

I'd ask my paternal grandfather what it was like being a bootlegger. He died when I was 17, and I didn't learn that tidbit until I was 25. I bet he had great stories!

Answer 10

I would ask my Great Great grandmother if she really was Lakota (Sioux). The whole family said she was, but I cant find proof.
