"Where were you born? At home. I wanted to be near my mother."

reply

That list is a little inaccurate... especially since Bo and Bernadine are the same person...

Annie Mae is Ona Fontaine's daughter, not Bertie Mae's, and if she really was born in 1959, then Ona had her when she was 8 years old. Yep.

reply

She was born in 1969

I agree there are some inaccuracies such as the ones that the other poster mentioned. Great list though, and I would like to see more about Poney and his kids. As well as the nephew of Poney who was also interviewed but his place on the (very incomplete, BTW) White Family Tree was never explained.

Also ... in the film it says how Poney is the only White who makes it "out" of West Virginia but in the list you also mention John Gullett as living in Minnesota. Hmmm is that because his last name is not White? If so ... how come?

Ohhh I am getting pulled into the obsession now. Must ... research ... lol.

Here's a more official family tree: http://www.falingenealogy.com/getperson.php?personID=I27778&tree=falingenealogy

The Gulletts were from a previous marriage. They were mentioned in the documentary, as they were at the funeral, but most of them disagreed with the whole filming part, so they couldn't film much of the funeral.

reply

That one is good and I appreciate the info. But its also incomplete in a different way. A lot of D.Ray and Bertie Mae's offspring are listed by 1st initial only. Even Jesco is shown as being "J. White" ...

That's what I'm wondering, also. Is or was she married to Duane "Dog the bounty hunter" Chapman or to a man with the same name? (I've been trying to google it .. but can't find out.)
