I have just found that I have an American serial Killer in my tree.....Joe Ball 1896-1938

Joseph D. Ball, also known as "Alligator Man" and "the Butcher of Elmendorf," was a murderer and bootlegger in the 1930's at the end of Prohibition.

*hides in the shed* LOL

Heavens, hope Josie doesn't find out, my street cred will fall to below zero if she does.

Just goes to show what one can find if one looks hard enough......The Queen was there too but I didn't like to brag.....Anyone know where I can find a plastic tiara?.........or praps I'd better look for a chainsaw instead

thats not fair,ive not found anybody like that in my tree.....how did you find that

That is so impressive Susan! *tiptoes timidly away......lol BC XX

by looking in old books and checking....then compared a tree with famous people....then found Laurence Olivier....traced his tree back and found Mark Shaftoe.....then compared him with famous people.....of which one was the queen....about 8th cousin 7 times removed ( I know, I know.....but she is still there lol ) and another was the the serial killer...great stuff lol

Lol BC.....a right lot mine were......I wish I had inherited the money gene though

All I've found is a 19th century loud mouth who tried (unsuccessfully) to derail a train!!
I suppose if he's managed he would be a mass murderer, but seeing the report on the trial, still wouldn't make the young thug romantic!!!

My Grandmothers Grandfather was murderd by an inmate at Strangeways, my sister found him while browsing a book about the sinister side of Manchester..
Clever thing was because of the book I knew exactly when he died even what the day was so managed to find more family members because of,

Praps we should start a league of villains :-)

Maggie and Blue Eyes.....did you look on the National archives site (PRO).....where you can purchase the trial transcriptions....should make an interesting read.


Why are you Jealous Daff?.....aren't convicts on the Juliana one of whom had a poem written about her and a whole chapter in a book as well as written about in Australia good enough? Tsk!.....when are you going to put up her poem anyway?

edit: sorry Maggie...on a re-read I see you have read a report on the trial :-) I don't think I find the Mass murderer romantic as such lol....just amazed at finding one at all.....makes you shiver at the thought of it.

I am so pleased I have always been polite and caring towards you Susan with numbers..,.....err...the numbers thing maybe significant why don't you add some arrows....** sniggers **

I'll put it up later today... I promise, lol!!

Must go and see my mum, lol!!
