I see that you are in Texas. That was once frontier country. Men once went into such territories with prostitutes following. Those prostitutes are in family trees. Has that turned up in your research?

No prostitutes, but one great great grandfather killed a man in eastern Oklahoma (1895) during a private poker game, and got away with it.

Hard to believe too, but the guy was an MD.

Thanks!

If I may butt in here: How in heaven's name could one possibly determine if relatives three or four generations ago were prostitutes? I doubt that that sort of information was gathered, e.g., by census takers, or mentioned on Death Certificates, so how could later generations ever determine that? (Unless a woman was a notorious hooker with high-profile arrests.)

Regards,
