Ellen,
Yes, I'm very familiar with the Frieda Bolt tragedy. After all the
gripping about non genealogical things on this list of recent and the grizzly
facts of this murder and the fact that some of the descendants of those involved
and related to her are still with us, I would prefer to send you the details
personally and not on the list server. I would love to have a copy of that
record, in fact, I have made several request to this list wondering if anybody
have a copy or ever heard of it. I am sure Mary Ann is also familiar with the
legend also. I will try to get the story to you tonight.
