They all had to go through the sponsor program and come through Ellis Island for inspection. If you, or anyone, ever start to search...keep an open mind on spellings. There were many accents speaking and many clerks writing.

    This was in reply to Mcqlives reply to your account talk. Regret any confusion.

I'll pull out all the papers I have during the week and look everything over again, since it's been about 10yrs, the last time I looked at them.
    You stated your Grandfather was working in Pittsburgh and joined the US Army. I understand the 10 year time since you looked. I have been researching my ancestry on both Father and Mother’s side for years but often let years go by between paying attention to it. Keep at it when you find time, you will find it rewarding.

    One of the most interesting things I have found concerning my maternal Grandfather is his draft registration cards for both WWI and WWII. WWI I suspect he was exempted as a farmer and WWII he was still a farmer and had four sons in the service.

    I have been working on my family tree and have noticed the same thing. I also noticed it on the different 10 year census and even on death certificates, not because the name is incorrect but it is the handwriting of the person.
    May the force be with us.

    PO... we know they came through Canada (others did as well and I still have several relations in Winnipeg) but never saw any immigration records. All of a sudden my liquor running Irish ancestors were in the us army, then us citizens and had passports while other relations in Canada had to go though Ellis island in 1918 and 1919. Not easily traced for sure.

    As a side note, I suggest anyone thinking of dna testing do both ancestry and 23 and me. Both give great info and may help you like ancestors.

    Back to the markets....strange morning. Futures were down around 7 points on the SnP most of the morning. Including right before open. Then the bell rings and we drop 16 with decent volume. Now are down 18-19 with only 5 minutes gone....

    Many news items effecting things even without earnings coming in. Tariffs from EU, Revolutionary Guard saying (again) death to america, Brexit, etc are all in the mix... even with all that it boils down to the bears trying to make a statement but I'm not sure if the bulls are listening. Maybe we can see if they are before the cut-off.

    for the last two yrs every time FAZ and TZA go into the eight dollar range the markets go down. As of this writing FAZ is below eight dollars. Plus we have many double tops right now. So maybe tomorrow the S&P will fill that gap.

    S&P 2840 to fill that gap or a little lower is around the corner. Then I will wait one day and then back in. That's the plan so far, and will see how this plays out.

    now looking for FAZ and TZA to go into the 10-11 dollar range. That has been the market bottom for the last approx two yrs.
    Lets see how this plays out, if as it has before.
