From today's (May 1, 2006) San Francisco Chronicle, if you are going to be looking for great-great-grand dad's or mother's grave in that Old Cemeteries, or the Old Homestead, you might want to read this, and then check on how to protected your self from tick bites. Sleuthing Lyme - Jenny Jedeikin Monday, May 1, 2006 More than 25,000 people in the United States contracted Lyme disease in 2005, but the actual number of cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concedes, may be 10 times higher than that. The numbers for Lyme disease in California are three times higher for 2005 than for the previous year. Despite that fact, the CDC recently warned the public that some private medical laboratories may be overdiagnosing positive results of Lyme disease to better their business. Independent scientific studies suggest this is not true. The discrepancy stems from the fact that the CDC's recommended test for Lyme uses far too narrow criteria for recognizing the illness. Its approved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (or ELISA) Lyme test has been shown to be only 65 percent accurate, according to testimony given in a state Senate Committee on Health and Human Services' investigation of the matter; even less so when the test is done several months after a patient has been infected. A Palo Alto laboratory, IGeneX, tests for additional Lyme antigens. After the government-recommended ELISA test missed chronic Lyme disease in bestselling author, Amy Tan, IGeneX detected Lyme antibodies. Tan had seen 10 doctors who had missed it, too. Many other victims of chronic Lyme disease are finally accurately diagnosed after using the more sensitive tests. In New York state proficiency tests, IGeneX has received a score of better than 95 percent, and, out of 58 labs tested, only IGeneX, had a perfect score for its Western "blot proficiency test. Yet, in 2005, the CDC warned about Lyme tests "whose accuracy and clinical usefulness have not been adequately established." This warning is a great disservice to Lyme-disease victims who turn to these laboratories for answers after months, and often years, of painful, unexplained symptoms. The California Legislature recently passed Resolution No. 103, declaring the month of May Lyme awareness month. Yet, despite this fact, the larger medical community of California still doesn't recognize the seriousness of this illness. Many doctors continue to tell patients they can't even contract Lyme disease here. Research by UC Berkeley entomologist, Robert Lane, proves otherwise. His independent studies show that 36 percent of the residents of the San Francisco Bay Area have antibodies to tick saliva of I. pacificus -- indicating that they have unknowingly been bitten. Lane says that if a person is infected with a California strain of Borrelia burgdorferi, the corkscrew-shaped bacteria that causes Lyme disease, there is a 20 percent chance they will get a false negative on a test that does not specifically use a California strain in the mix. Lane concluded, "The medical community should be alerted that Lyme disease can be highly endemic in rural areas of northwestern California." Long-term Lyme disease can be debilitating, including body aches, neurological damage and even loss of sight. Its symptoms are often misdiagnosed or confused with those of other diseases such as fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease or multiple sclerosis, the medical literature refers to it as "the great imitator." The most unfortunate outcome of the debate on the definition of Lyme, is that chronic Lyme sufferers are forced to pay their medical expenses out of pocket, because many insurance companies do not recognize their illness in California. In Rhode Island, recent new laws mandate insurance companies pay for long-term Lyme treatment. The CDC needs to re-examine its scientific criteria for defining Lyme disease and the testing that reveals it. Until they do, doctors will continue to lack adequate education about this illness; people will continue to suffer its terrible symptoms and those who are being treated will continue to have to pay prodigious medical bills that should be covered by insurance. Jenny Jedeikin of Kentfield began researching Lyme disease after her partner was diagnosed with the disease.

Columbus Ohio City Directory (1890-91) lists: "Dr. Samuel Iglick" occupation: "Turkish bath and barber shop" There is a ship passenger list for the Port of New York, arriving 7 Nov 1870 (could be 1879) pass #492: Igluck[?], Samuel, age 16, male, arriving on the Steamer Allemannia from Hamburg, Germany. This could be him. You will want to check the Hamburg Emigration List for the departure. This is a list that the Germans at the Port of Hamburg kept on DEPARTING (emigrating) Germans. It is indexed from the 1850s until the 1930s. He should be easy to find on the list and, since Germans wrote it, the name is likely spelled correctly and may give a birthplace or a place where he was living prior to departure. The list is available on microfilm at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or through one of their local Family History Centers. Major libraries also often have these microfilms. The port has a website but I couldn't find him on it. They charge for a lookup and copy of the register entry (which you can get off a microfilm yourself). The register is in German but it is ! easy to translate and the emigrant's names are usually easy to read. I found my g-g-grandfather on it.

Surnames: Lavazolla and Kruse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EY.2ADE/11.23.2 Message Board Post: I fixed my email address as the previous was incorrect and I don't know if it can be accessed. I lived outside Downieville in the late 1940's right after WWII. The Lavazolla family had a ranch if my directions are correct about 9 miles from town out past the old cemetary. There was Tony and I remember an older brother Pete (who I believe lived in town on the other side of the bridge past the old post office). The story I remember was that Pete saw a train once...when he went to Sacramento to have a tooth pulled. It seems like he was very old...but I was just a kid. We had to walk in to our place and Tony would loan us a mule when we had something heavy to carry in. We were on what was then called the Little North Fork, which I think may have been renamed. About 30 years ago there was a logging road which went in to the property that started near an old saw mill. I am looking for information on my great grandmother Sarah Marie Brown Kruse, who lived in Downieville and supposedly married John Ernest Kruse during the gold rush days. John Ernest died in Downieville on 21 Feb 1875 at about 44 years old. He was my great grandfathers brother, after he died my great grandfather John Henry Kruse married Sarah and raised their children in San Francisco along with three they had together. He later owned J H Kruse Lumber Company in San Francisco. John Ernest owned a saloon and part of the water works and some mining land according to some records. I would also like some help in obtaining more information an an obituary if possible. I could not spend enough time in Downieville to complete my search and am not in physical condition to do it now. I figure the saloon was where the old Quartz Cafe was. I may be able to come up with more on the Lavazzola's when I have time to think about it. I'm almost positive the correct spelling is "Lavazolla" (John) Ernest Kruse is mentioned on page 460 in "History of Plumas, Lassen and Sierra Counties" elected as a trustee in the first municipal election held April 27, 1863.
