I got to looking at Lizzies genelogy and got to wondering. I was wandering if there are any decendants of Lizzie and if they are still living. Thought it would be interesting to find out.

Snoks, Lizzie didn't have any children, so there is no way she could have any descendants.

what about cousins, aunts and uncles? Could there be any descendants that way?

Well, a persons descendants would be their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. Cousins, aunts, uncles are not considered descendants...but they would be extended family.

Not being familiar with her genealogy, I can't say how many living descendants of her family there may be....but I'm sure someone who IS familiar with it can tell you.

There are distant cousins popping up all over, if you ask. I work with one. I've met another at a restaurant. I met the granddaughter of the neighbor on Third St. who gave Lizzie's calling card to the Fall River Historical Society...met all of these people within 2 miles of my house and I live in New Bedford. I expect they would trample over you in Fall River. The Bordens were a big clan.

Remember, Abraham Bowen Borden, Andrew's father, was one of nine children. Andrew had lots of cousins and Lizzie had even more.

Then there are her mother's people, Morse, who are more closely related, Snokkums. Her mother was one of 13 children, some were 1/2 siblings to John Morse and Sarah Morse.
