View submission: What's the longest unanswered question in your family's history?
when the grave was opened, to bury my grandmother, ( mom's mother)the diggers found the casket of a baby in the plot. there are no records of an infant being buried there and nobody in the family knew of it or who's kid it is..... that was over 50 yrs ago and still don't know.....
also, about 35 yrs ago i started doing family history.... my great-grandmother ( mom's dad's mother) was married in 1886 and was childless until 1894 when my grandfather was born. they were a well to do boston political family.....lots of history with Harvard, and local hospitals.
i found out that my grandfathers birth was never recorded until 1934 and stated he was born at home... found a long lost cousin , on his side, that turned out to be family historian and he shared that my grandfather was thought to be adopted... but he looked just like my great-grandfather..... could never prove it but we think that he was the product of my great grandfather and one of the irish servants and my great grandmother "claimed " him...
we will never know......
There's nothing here!
