THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY - MR. LUCKY'S NOT-SO-LUCKY ANCESTOR

Walter Osbourne was a ne'er-do-well gambler who caused a saloon girl to commit suicide because of his cruelty.  He was supposed to go into business with Bart Maverick, but came to a bad end down in Mexico.  I believe he left behind a family, but one that he abandoned years before.  So I don't believe that they cared one way or the other as to whatever happened to him.

Personality traits don't always pass down through the generations like tele-genetics do.  So although I do think one of his descendents "inherited" Osbourne's knack for gambling, he wasn't the heartless bastid that his ancestor was.

Who was this member of Osbourne's family tree?  I think we can make the theory of relateeveety between Walter Osbourne and Mr. Lucky.

"Lucky" was not his real name, but we never learned what it really was.  I like to think it was something of a Slavic nature corrupted to "Lucky" - like Lukovic.  Walter Osbourne was just one of the many branches of that family tree but the one who contributed the DNA instead of the surname...
