5 questions... if you could ask your ancestors just five questions what would your questions be?

1. Great-Grandma: Who was my grandmother's father???

2. GGGGG-Grandpa: Who were your parents!? We've been looking for nearly 100 years!

3. GGG-Grandma: Did you really murder your husband?

4. Great-Grandpa: Where did you go after you left your family?

5. Everyone: Overall, would you consider the quality of life better now, or when you were living?

Gr. Grandma Susie, did your family disown you when you married a man from Germany in 1893? Cause they sure clamp their mouths when I ask about you and him.

Gr. Grandpa George, where in the heck in Germany were you from--am I Swiss, Prussian or what?

Gr. Uncle Ammon, why did that revenoor lawman shoot you when you dropped your hands to cross the fence? and what happened to your wife and 4 children? (sorry, 2 questions!)

Gr.Gr.Grandpa Samuel, who did you marry? Just can't find a record or name, someone said maybe Elizabeth? Do you know how many Elizabeth's there are? (oops, again 2)

Gr.Gr.Grandpa Sam, what Indian tribe were you from in North Carolina?

Sure wish I could just ask them 5!
