Proofs…

We’re headed to a Court of Law!!!

Granny’s FortuneYou’re chilling at home, watching AI when your cell buzzes. It’s your friend Luke, “Hey, your last name is Milkes, right? Any chance you have a grandmother named Molly Milkes who was REALLY rich? ‘Cause you should check out today’s paper.”

Family Fortune Unclaimed

State officials are amazed that the county’s largest family fortune may go unclaimed. Molly “Ol’ Granny” Milkes died earlier this week and it appears she was survived by no living relatives. According to her last will and testament, “Upon my death, my entire

fortune is to be divided among my children and grandchildren.” Family members have until noon tomorrow to come forward with a written statement giving evidence that they are related to Ms. Milkes or the money will be turned over to the state.

WOAH!!!

Molly is your grandmother, so you’re rich!!

But…How will your convince the state officials? You search the attic and come up with some family memorabilia.

Your task: With your friend, write a statement that will convince State Official Corbin that Molly Milkes was your Granny. Remember to support any claims you make with appropriate evidence.

In the attic you find:Family Portrait—showing three young children. Dated 1968.Newspaper Clipping—an article from 1972 titled “Triplets Make Music

History”. The first sentence catches your eye: “Jake, Judy, and Jeremiah Milkes, all 8 years old perform first six-handed piano piece at Carnegie Hall.”

Jake Milkes’ Birth Certificate—showing Jake was born in 1964, and identifying his parents as Phillip and Molly Milkes.

Your Driving Permit—signed by your father, Jeremiah Milkes.Wilbert Milkes’ Passport—issued when Wilbert was fifteen.
