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.

I don't know whether some folks were kidding me, but I was told that people who are interested in genealogy are often interested in reincarnation as well. Any truth to that? FYI and FWIW, en.wikipedia.org comparativereligion.com geocities.com According to one European mystical group that traced its origins to the time of Akhenaton (ca. 1350 BC) of ancient Egypt, humans are reincarnated as humans and, sometimes a man returns as a woman and a woman as a man. Perhaps a person currently working on his/her genealogy may stumble on a personality that was himself or herself in another time? .
