I normally hate the word awesome. It is overused. However in this case I believe it is entirely appropriate. Your collective responses have been overwhelming. You don't actualy realise the depth of information you have given me - and I won't bore you with the familial interconnections.

Suffice to say thanks - you have been fantastic.

Ellis island records are free. They show Jacob arriving 9 Sep. 1905. Going to join uncle Daniel Davies, Vector, Colorado.
