Need Help - Found Original Notes - Katherine Marie Meisner**

[Tara-Leigh]

Hi Ian ~
I'm back with more questions.  I've read all the past notes and viewed the links and census (eyes are starting to bug out...lol) but I'm really starting to wonder about something...

Here we go...

On the records that show Marie or Mirah, etc as being born I believe 1894 or 1895 and passing away within the next year...I'm just wondering if that isn't actually my great grandmother.

I'm wondering if his wife Maren Sorenson had the affair in Denmark with Sonke Matteson and when meeting up with Meisner in the US lied to him about the baby...when he discovered the truth...she not him turned the baby into the orphanage and told him the baby died while traveling out to meet up with him.   Or something like that...cause this whole Michagin and Colorado thing and only some of the family knowing of my ggmother it's just fishy and no one is alive that remembers her or the stories.  Just wondering how to put a truthful timeline together...it's really suspicious how the last 3 girls she had were all named Marie...no??? and how they didn't live more than a year....

Maybe someone can steer me in a direction?

Any help is always appreciated...love you guys!

Happy Holidays to all
Tara

What a sad story. .
Great detective work....

Have you or your father thought of taking DNA it could throw up relatives that would prove if Katherine WHITE existed or if the birth father named was the correct person.
 Good luck

Hello ~
Yes as of date both my father and I have posted DNA on ancestry.com. I'm on 23 and me and a few others out there.  Only recently have I seen connections to my fathers side, but they are 5-6th cousins.  Which isn't bad but they link to mostly his fathers side and this would be connections we need on his mothers side. Yet we'll keep searching.

Thanks for ideas...any and all are always welcome.
