I was purposely looking through the photograph album to find clues to my past life. I was hoping, but not actually expecting to find anything, so I was stunned to find that on the very second page. My heart skipped a beat! But like I said, I'm not convinced that the photograph is me. There are some differences between her and me that are more apparent when you see the actual photograph instead of the xerox of it in the comparison. But I still believe that I was meant to find it as a clue to the past life connection between Oscar and myself. It's intriguing that the xerox does look so much more like me, like the universe subtly altered it to drive home the point. It doesn't hurt that a gifted medium friend of mine said that when the Kelton ghosts saw me for the first time in this life, they did a double-take since I look the same now.
I have nagged Oscar about helping me find historical evidence of my past life. However, he thinks that that is a distraction from me paying attention to him. He's given me some information through a friend who does automatic writing, but I have not been able to verify it in the historical record. I'm not entirely convinced that he didn't send me on a wild goose chase just to prove his point. But I'm also hitting a brick wall in general, since finding records of women from that time period is a bear. At least I know that there aren't any marriage records to find, since we weren't officially married. I can stop banging my head against the wall on that count. A friend at work did suggest reading the society columns of the newspapers from that time, though, because there may be some clues there. I do seem to have been related to the wealthiest family in town, so that ups the odds of finding anything.
Oscar has said that he is working on getting his old letters to me back in my hands someday. I've got a better chance than average of that, since I work in an archives library.
