On my father's side (Merritt) we have been told we are distant relatives to Bat. My father stated his grandmother, Thelma Masterson-Gregg was a cousin to Bat Masterson. Thelma was my grandmother's (Malita Jane Gregg) sister. I would like to know how I can confirm this. I have pictures, one with whom I believe may be Bat standing in front of numbered blocks, such as for a "booking" (arrest) photo (I do know he was arrested and charged at one time then found not guilty). I also have a post card sent to my great great grandmother believed to be signed by Bat. Please let me know what my resources would be for ACCURATE information only.
THANK YOU.
