I found a professional genealogist who said to me, take the mystery out of the search, there is usually a good explanation in finding ancestors. That genealogist is Robert Jerin who helped find a great grandmother's immigration and records to ellis island for me. That mystery is now solved on my father's side of the family. There is much more to that story but more on that later.
What stumps our family today is on my mother's side of the family Calvin M. Prine has no parents!
Legend has it that he was found in the woods as a baby, by the indian hunters which were part of my family which we are still trying to prove as well...and no one can seem to figure out who his parents were or where he really came from.
so it will be always a mystery...according to my grandmother it may be true. however, there is still some doubt.

After much research, and many generations of family in all our Prine branches, my daughter may have solved a couple mysteries, she found in contradiction to mr. Jerin whose help was appreciated, the exact census and boat records of the jacobs family and
ReplyDelete..as well as the mystery of the baby in the woods whom was walking but could not talk is how i believe the story went...his name appeared in a census at age 1 being with the Prine family, therefore this story could very well have been just that for bedtime storytelling or around the campfire...
