Which ancestor or family are you obsessed with? I tend to get a bit obsessed with those who stubbornly refuse to yield info.
lately, my obsession has been my ancestor madeleine louise philippeaux. I have no bmd events for her. I estimate she was born about 1680 (about 20 when may have married), married about 1700 (first known child c.1702, first baptism 1705), and died after 1739 (wittnessed dau's wedding). I have no idea who her family was, or where she came from. None of the godparents for her children were her relatives. She was the wife of a guard for the duke of orleans, brother and then nephew of louis XIV. Family rumour states she was from an important court family, possible; but likely her father was also a guard or soldier.
i don't care either way, i just want to find out where she came from and what happened to her! Every record i find gives me no information about her!
