I hope this brightens everyones day. It sure cracked me up .

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.
