Memetime redux

So I posted this one Sunday. I’m going to repost it because it hit a few snags.

1) the 100 space limit on text questions was too limiting
2) people left comments about people without telling me which person.

So, here we go again (I’ll still list answers from the last one)

The idea is to write something nice about someone on my friends list. Yes, you have to tell me who it’s about. (I won’t tell)

Then, when I get all the responses I’ll make a posting that says:
afreeman – Someone says “You’re clever. That’s so cool.”

It’s a chance to give almost (but not really) anonymous compliments to people.

So:

I’ll post all the comments from Sunday’s poll-post and todays by 6pm Thursday (my time)

Stolen from tikva who stole it from izzycat who caught it from catamorphism

Have something nice to say about someone else? Now’s the chance. I won’t post who said what but I’ll group them by person to receive good comments 🙂

So, despite the name change and estrangement from my family, I do continue to do research into my family’s origin.

I am building a fairly extensive website on our families.

Today, I got mail from the Ellis Island organization. They have put a new search mechanism together.

Well, my Great -great grandfather (dad’s dad’s dad) has always been elusive. To this day, I’m not sure how he got into the country. But I tried again to find his wife.

Today I found something.

fiannaharpar has been helping me read the horrible hand writing. shimmeringjemmy really helped by fixing the contrast on the graphic.

So… if anyone wants to take a stab at helping us read this… I’d be more than happy.
Of most interest are columns 2, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16

Comments concerning the details are in the comments section. Feel free to try to interpret before looking at the comments so as to not be influenced on initial interpretation. 🙂
