   Someone posted this to the nm.general newsgroup.   
   Presumably they will be trying to dig The Kid up   
   too, and thereby prove once and for all who   
   was related to whom:   
      
   ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Was Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid shot dead by Sheriff   
   Pat Garrett in 1881, or did he escape to Texas and die nearly 70 years   
   later?  Sheriffs in New Mexico hope to find out, seeking a court order to   
   exhume the Kid's mother for DNA testing.   
   ...   
   DNA testing is supposed to show whether Antrim, buried in Silver City, was   
   related to Ollie L. "Brushy Bill" Roberts, who died in 1950 in Hico, Texas,   
   and claimed he was Billy the Kid.
