Hi John, thats an interesting question! I'd either want to meet my great great great adopted grandpa Nathaniel Ross who died in Heleno,ARK during the Civil War of disease or my ggggggreat grandpa Benoni Grant who fought in Ethan Allens Green Mtn. Boys during the American Rev. War to find out who there parents are!
I'd like to meet my great uncle Patrick Joseph Browne, my great aunt Kit Browne, and my great grandparents John Browne and Mary Nally Browne. Gosh --- hadn't really thought about what their impression of me would be.
Hopefully, I've led the kind of life that would encourage them to say, "Good job, me girl."
Leeann and everyone,who would you like to meet? if you could just pick one ancester you could meet once,who would it be? Me, I would like to meet my 13th Great grandfather John Belchamber born about 1490 just so I could ask him who his parents were.
