Mild-Mannered Businessman or Secret Service Agent? - Investigating a Family Legend

Middlesex Chapter Meeting
 
Presented by Erica Voolich
 
Investigating a family legend of a possible Secret Service Agent led to fascinating unexpected stories and documents.  The asking of questions and the resulting follow-up can be applied to others’ searches behind the fantastical stories your own families might have told.  We will look at leads that would be useful to the  descendants of not only the secret service agent, but also to those of the criminal or even the landlady involved.
