MYSTERIES IN SEARCH OF A SOLUTION

 

From time to time an event or place, or even an ancestor may result in a mystery that captures our individual and collective attentions. Many times such mysteries have solutions if we can only get the mystery and solution together. Our challenge, then, is to make the mystery known to our members and visitors in hopes that someone may have an answer or explanation. We will list mysteries of a general nature here in this section.
