6’4”? Oh, I’m sure he loves you now. LOL! According to what I’d been told at the museum, the tallest family member was only 5’5’, which is maybe an inch taller than me. Oscar kept presenting himself as being about 4 or 5 inches taller than me, though. I teased him about that, because I thought that he was just trying to impress me again. Then I got his Army records from the National Archives. It turns out that he was 5’8 ½”, just like I’d been seeing him. But between those long piano player fingers and the general lankiness to his build, I can see where you’d think he was taller.

He does have a ring on his pinky finger. He says it’s his wedding ring. I’ve heard folklore saying that his father was also well known for wearing a pinky ring.

You must admit Abbey, that photo of you from that past life was amazing. You hadn't changed in looks at all.

Okay...feeling stooooopid. Sorry Abbey, I didn't catch the mention of the pinky ring in a previous post.

I just reread the thread and caught that, plus mention of him wanting you to find coins in a box. His father also wore a pinky ring? That's really interesting. And frustrating, especially if you can't find any records of marriage.

I have been trying to track down genealogy clues from variations of a spelling of my last name. Very frustrating; many were in PA, and lost during the latter 1800's.

I hope you find the answers you're looking for.........good luck, and keep us posted!

The photo is amazing though! how did you feel when you came across a photo of yourself? It must have been spine-tingling!!

Im curious to see if I could find pictures of me (i dont have enough information to start looking though) but dont know if I could bring myself to look at them lol!!

I showed a friend of mine the comparison and she was absolutely shocked and said the same thing i did about looking at yourself!

Could Oscar give you any tips of other info/documents you could find?

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.

It would be interesting to read those letters. They may also give you more information that you need to confirm this lifetime with Oscar. Very Happy

From your lips to God's ears! Reading his old letters would no doubt answer a LOT of questons. It would also be nice to have some hard evidence to show the other people at the museum house that I'm really not crazy. LOL!
