Prompt #14 - Family Dinner

Prompt #14 - Family Dinner

My mother. My father. All four of my grandparents. All eight great-grandparents. This is what happens when you delve into genealogy. All those questions you wished you had asked when and if you had had the chance. Just this fall, I worked on a timeline for my maternal grandmother Winifred Joan Hayne Bubar and I have one whole page of Unanswered Questions/Brick Walls:

 

Who is the man in the locket?

Who is the woman with the necklace?
How do I access the ancestral links between 18th and 16th centuries without spending money?
Who is the boy in the marine coat photo? Did you have a second brother? If so, what happened to him? If not, what does the Feb 1900 refer to in the Family Bible?

After your father died, where did the children live when mother Anne moved in with her mother?
Is the address where brother Moreton sent letters and the telegram from the Palace announcing his death the address of the cottage? If not, what was your mother doing there?

With whom did you live (a doctor in Kaslo in 1913) and what did you do while you were there?
Why were you married in Nelson, BC?
When was the Kettle Valley WI formed? How was it different from the Fireside Circle?
What date did your sister-in-law Norah Bubar die in 1952?

When did your half-sister Georgina Hayne Godding die? ( b.Georgina Fanny Sarah Hayne, June 20, 1860)
If Georgina's son Frank Cane Godding was wounded in the war and died later (1919), what happened to Georgina's daughter?
When did you move from the ranch into the Midway house? How did you get it? Did you inherit money &/or jewels when the last aunt died?
What year and day did your youngest son marry?
Would you have liked your life to have been different in any way?

Some of these are basic and could be uncovered at the proper research centres, but some may never be answered to any satisfaction.

I expect it would be the same if I did the timeline for each family member.
