6. The Mystery of Colles Johnston

Host Taylor Mali reveals all he knows about his great-great-uncle Colles Johnston, the only one of the Johnston kids to have died without marrying or having children of his own; as a result, Colles will have no descendants representing his branch of the family at The Marble House Meeting in June of 2024, which starts with a cocktail reception at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This episode starts with a delicious bit of ancestral romance audio fan fiction called "The Scullion's Hearth" (voiced by the amazing Megan McQuillan!). If you are one of the relative strangers, please go RSVP to The Marble House Meeting using the link that Taylor includes in all his emails to the family.The founding sponsor of Relative Strangers is FamilyTreeChart.com.
