A sort of geneological mystery on my wife's side. Her great grandfather J.E.B. had a fairly unusual name, not weird unusual but distinctive. Her sister bought a 100 year old house in Duluth a few years ago. They were looking at the abstract and found that in the 19 teens the house was owned by a J.E.B. The family knew that J.E.B immigrated from Canada to the Twin cities but no one had any memory or stories, letters, pictures of him ever living in Duluth.

Could it have been some other J.E.B? It's really a distinctive name. Pretty long odds. Heck of a coincidence if it was. Did her GGF have another life no one knew about? Why keep it a secret?

That would be the frustrationg thing about geneology to me. All thoses stories attached to those names, impossible to retrieve.
