Kathy,
Somebody is off here and I would be willing to bet money that you think it is me.
Let me try again. I have no need to ask the same question if it is completely answered.
Fact: Harold Haun has a "Big Four" picture of which you made a video.
Fact: You assume that Harold's picture and not Betty's is the original.
One more time, do you know Harold's picture is original or do you assume it because it is old and in an old frame. Who has the original negative and how is that determined as such? You think I am just trying to be difficult here and I'm not. (not this time anyway!) Isn't it possible that someone touched up the original, made a negative, and then made copies from the copy. Years later seeing an old picture in a frame might you assume it was original when it wasn't? When I see the negative of what you say is hands, looks more like a tracing of hands to me.
As long as I’ve heard Betty talk about Diannah and Zerelda I have not heard her say that she thought for sure Zerelda was Diannah but that it was possible. What she has said is that she believes Zerelda is in the Big Four picture and that is her gg-father’s mother.
Keep in mind on any topic Betty is subject to correction, and any one point corrected does not make the whole wrong.
What you have to show for Betty to be in error here is that Diannah with two hands pictured post about 1870 or so is the same person with the “Big Four.” You may present an interesting argument but can it be proven? This is the big question.
Betty still has her case to present and she will do it in an organized fashion and at the right time for her.
The dna tests that were done left some serious questions as I mentioned in my Rebuttal #1. After ample time to study, Betty will reply to the test.
Did the Missouri James family or their relations contribute to the study? If so what percent. I may be a little gun shy but I start to doubt that we are getting part of the story.
Linda may minimize the question but the both of you do know my point and why I asked the question. It is most relevant.
(Still being nice, I think.)
David
