Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

The Son of the Sundance Kid.
Robert Harvey Longabaugh claimed to be the son of the Sundance Kid and Etta Place. He lectured at libraries, dropped in on newspaper offices and talked to anyone who would listen in the Western United States during 1970 and 1971.
There are a few transcripts of his lectures available but only one known lecture that is preserved as an audio file. Robert gave a lecture in Ellensburg, Washington on July 17, 1971 that was recorded and is now available as a .wma audio file.

Continuing Research on Etta Place.
Yesterday I talked to a relative, a nephew, of Etta Place who did not know that this relative was rumored to be Etta Place. Now he has accepted it wholeheartedly.
The day before I talked to a lady who wrote an article in 1970 for the Price, Utah newspaper about a man, Robert Harvey Longabaugh, who claimed to be the son of the Sundance Kid. Sometimes he went by the name of Harry Thayne Longabaugh. This woman wrote more articles for the Price paper that I need to find.
This is in preparation for possibly writing a book. I feel I still have some research to do before a book would be complete. I have found Etta Place before South America, but not much after South America.
