Altho I really do frown on sending this type of thing to a list, this one is
FUNNY. Sorry, but hope you get a giggle from it. Cris
These questions are from actual correspondence received by the LDS
Family History Library:
Our 2nd great-grandfather was found dead crossing the plains in the
library.
He was married 3 times in the endowment house and has 21 children.
For running down Wheelers, I will send $3 more.
He and his daughter are listed as not being born.
I would like to find out if I have any living relatives or dead
relatives or ancestors in my family.
Will you send me a list of all the Dripps in your library?
My grandfather died at age 3.
We are sending you 5 children in a seperate envelope.
Documentation: Family Bible in possession of Aunt Merle until tornado
hit Topeka, Kansas, now only the Good Lord knows where it is....
The wife of #22 could not be found; I have worked on her for 30 years
without success; now see what you can do.
I have a hard time finding myself in London; if I was there I was very
small and cannot be found.
This family had 7 nephews that I am unable to find; if you know who they
are, please add them to the list.
We lost our grandmother. Will you please send us a copy?
Will you please send me the name of my first wife. I have forgotten her
name.
A 14 year old boy wrote: "I do not want you to do research for me. Will
you please send me all the material on the Welch line in the U.S.,
England and Scotland countries? I will do the research."
Further research will be necessary to eliminate one of my parents.
