If you are keeping track of
my articles in the newspaper, I found a few typos: the issue of Sept 27 2007,
the first couple of lines should be dated Sept 27 1907; the line about Louise
Steinbrook and the rest of that article, should have the date of Oct 4 1907;
the issue of Oct 11 2007 has a section with the date of Oct 3 1952 and that
should be 1957 instead. If you would like to read the articles online go to www.chancy.org/delphos/ . You may
register your surname there for me to look up your ancestor.
