Boy, I sure miss Mama Sekhmet.  So -- who would you talk to if you could? If the seance actually brought you close enough to communicate with an ancestor, a relative, a historical figure? what would you want to know from them? Or they from you, perhaps? Or would it all be too much, and you wouldn't go near it if you could? |

| I'd want to talk to Elvis so I could know that he was really really dead and not just hanging out with aliens or whatever. |

| My Grandmother and/or Grandfather |

| I would want to talk to someone in my family far enough back on my mother's side that could give me my family tree.......Much better than the census records don't you think? |

| I would talk to my grandparents. My mom's mother was the only grandparent my sister and I ever really knew. My mom's father died when she was in high school and my dad's parents died when my sister and I were little. |

| I would like to talk to my Great-great-grandfather. The family tree would take good shape then. |

| i would like to talk to turlough o' carolan..... the irish harper ... i would like to ask him if it pisses him off when i play his music.... not that i would stop.... just would wanna know.....  actually the the choice would be overwhelming if i could only talk to just one.... but since i cant really talk to anyone beyond.... i will stick with my first choice.    ps... wondering if the title of this string "Who Would You. . ., if you could?" was meant to sound the way it does....  |

Well -- are you into dallying with the dead, then?  Cold comfort, but at least when they say they'll love you forever, you can believe it. |

| I'm with Celtic Cat, Madadh, Nancy-Raven and Celticfire I'd like to talk to an ancestor. Perhaps ask my several times removed grandfather if he in fact came over from Wales as family records suggest and if so where he lived, who were his parents, grandparents, etc and what kind of life he had. Or ask an ancestor of my maternal grandmother's side the same question because we really no nothing of them. Other than that I'd like to talk with my grandparents to make sure they are where they wanted to be. And a bard or Queen of ancient times.  |

| I would want to talk to my dad- he died when I was eight, and so I don't have a very good memory of him anymore. Just wanna know what he was like, what made him laugh, etc. |

| I would say my granparents on both sides of my family. My dad's mom died when he was 7 and I always wanted to know what she was like. Also, my other grandparents, I know they could offer me a lot of info when it comes to my family tree. Seems we are kind of stuck right now with one side of my family. |

| I would probably also want to talk to Jesus. |

| I would want to talk to my first Cheever ancestor (mother's mother's side) that decided to leave England for the New World. just to find out if he thought things had turned out better here than they would have "across the pond." |

| When i studied philosophy, my favorite teacher, who was suffring from a multiple sclerosis, commited suicide; which had really touched me... Then i would like to talk with him, infact as you can guess, i would have a lot of questions for him... But i also would like to talk with the first of my ancestor who is not from the french territory (as it is known now). A lot of people says that every one in France is from other countries, even if to find it, you have to go back to a very remote past... For my part, all i know about our family is not enough remote to find someone from an other country... |

| HELLO, ANYBODY THERE???? Thought I would wake up this thread, it is really a good one. I guess I would like to have converstion with my twin. He passed when we were three and I remember very little. All I have is a picture of the two of us and everyone else is passed over, so I am it. Late in life babies. |

| I've come to this thread, trying to think of someone.... But, my ancestors are the kind who wouldn't appreciated being bothered by something as silly as a seance. Like telelmarketers intruding into heaven. So, I think of people 'famous'. That as well is hard. Any 'hero' would be dimished by truth. *sigh* Going to keep thinking. Perhaps I'd talk to the person who invented popcorn. *lol* I would like to know from distant ancestors what the land was like they left. Where they lived, what they did, why they left. Perhaps I'd ask my greatgrandmother why she didn't name her twin infants who died shortly after birth. And why she married a man so many years her senior and seemingly so completely devoid of humor. |

| I agree that seances are a bit silly. Also, people who have passed on are mostly strangers to me. I wouldn't dream of phoning a (living) stranger by dialing a random telephone number. What would I discuss with a total stranger ? Why then trouble the dead ? It all seems a bit awkward to me. milton Point Roberts, WA |

| Maybe someone can contact Britney's Spear's career. That's been dead for awhile now. |

| I would want to talk to my great-great-great grandfather Thomas Jordan. I've traced my family history back to him and then earlier than him with DNA studies..but I NEED to speak to him to get a history of the family during his life time, since it is unsure who his dad was and unsure when the family migrated, as well as many other lose ends during that period!! |

| I would love to talk to our Founding Fathers to see if our current US is what they pictured, and if not, what would they do to "fix" things? Also, I would like to talk to my ancestors that came to this country from Great Britain (England and Ireland) and France. Supposedly they all came for religious freedom, and I would love to know what their lives were like. |

Seances aren't silly! Next you'll be telling me to ditch the tarot cards and pendulum. |
