"DID YOU KNOW . . .?" about Hershel Parker and Kevin Costner?

P.S. Did you know that the person usually thought to be the world's leading Melville scholar, Hershel Parker, is actually Kevin Costner's first cousin. ...

Things you find on the Internet!


Checkmate!

Kevin's father, Bill Costner, is my second cousin, Kevin my second cousin once removed.

You know what this means: Bill and I are twice the Costner Kevin is.

Nancy Ann Stewart Costner--Kevin Costner's Great Great Grandmother


I said several weeks ago that through the Social Network I was going to find a Stewart face. We had never seen a picture of my great grandmother Nancy Ann Stewart Costner. Soon after I said that, one of us spotted an Internet Cousin's photos in which was a female Stewart relative of this woman, then today from Internet First Cousin Once Removed Paula comes this, cropped from a picture of NASC with her young son, Edgar Lugene Costner, my grandfather.

Some unidentified Costners and Bells


Uncle Mode (Moses Amariah Costner) and Aunt Maude and some of their children are in the lower left but the other pictures are of unidentified Costners and Bells. Does anyone recognize any of them? (The picture is from James Head, a Costner and a Bell like me and our new cousin Bonnie.)

Moses Amariah Costner and Maude Langston Costner and some of their children

I am re-posting this because it is from a much sharper print owned by Bonnie McMullan, whose grandmother was Uncle Mode's sister Ida Costner (as my grandfather was Uncle Mode's brother Edgar Lugene Costner). James Keith Head, himself a Costner and a Bell, just discovered Bonnie's web site. I am delighted at meeting this double second cousin--double since Bonnie's grandmother Emma Bell was my grandmother Costner's sister. We kept things in the family very well in Scotland and in the South. Does anyone have a consanguinity chart so we can see just how close kin are these double second cousins with bonus points for old marriages of first cousins? James, thank you for finding Bonnie!
