Progress?
I went to a Civil War reenactor’s ball last night. I was hoping that it might jog some memories from my past life in that era loose. For the most part it didn’t, but there is one incident that has me wondering.
Someone asked my my name, and I blurted out “Emmeline Baker!” What the heck?! I’ve suspected that my first name in that life was Emmeline, but the Baker part is new. I haven’t come across anyone named Baker in my research back tracking my life from that of my first husband. I’m also a little concerned at how similar it is to Josephine Baker, as in, I’m considering whether my brain was just scrambling some things together that aren’t really related except for the sound.
It’s all very odd. I will see what I can find in the genealogical databases I have available to me when I get back into work tomorrow. It’s throwing me off that I am not getting a strong gut reaction to this one way or the other. Well see.
