who would it be and why!
This can be anyone at all, famous or not, relative, or fictitious.
I'm not going to go first, because I don't want to influence anyone answer.
It would have to be one of my ancestors, to solve a genealogical mystery. I know I am descended from the emigrant Gabriel LaBoyteaux, who arrived on the east coast in 1685, as a direct result of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, (the religious wars started up again in Europe.) I also know I am descended from Gabriels' grandson, Captain John, who was killed in the Revolutionary War. Captain Johns descendents, my ancestors, were granted land in the Northwest Territory, later named, Ohio. So I want to have dinner with Captain Johns son and ask him who he is. I can prove I am descended from one of the Captains grandsons', just can't prove the generation in between. The vital records to prove the link were destroyed by fire in the War of 1812.
