That's why time traveler stories touch only briefly on a future, and a lot of past times. So if I look back to an ancestor that would have been 69 in 1942 (the year I was born) ...they would have been born in 1873. Mmm, I dare say I can look on the good old family tree and find someone. It doesn't matter if they didn't actually live to 69, because it's the magical birthday I'm tracking this time. (In the future I'll check and see how many ancestors did make it to the year of their 69th birthday)
Oh my goodness...the woman I was named after was born Jan 30, 1873. She was my great-grandmom, Eugenia Almetta (Almeda) Booth Miller, and she died Jan 1, 1936. She raised my mom and my grandmom, and had married Charles Mueller (Miller) October 28,1896, an immigrant from Germany. They had 4 daughters, including my grandmother, Mozelle Booth Miller. I was named Barbara Booth, rather than Eugenia.
I'm going to share this great news (well, only if you put a parameter on history that says, look at it this way...) on Sepia Saturday this week. See what other folks are sharing here.
