HI Peter- I found this on Gwyneth: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,819130-2,00.html Gwyneth Kahn, who came to TIME in 1945, is a specialist in answering let ters about National Affairs stories, and is a spare-time fiction writer. Before the U.S. entered World War II, she lived for a few years in London, where she wrote and sold fiction and poetry. Later, en route to the Pacific with the American Red Cross, she did a mono logue in verse called Lousy with Colonels which, she says, practically got her thrown off the ship. Though it was never published, she adds, it enjoyed good circulation in the South Pacific from majors down. Also if you google Gwyneth Kahn, there is a newspaper article from 1942, about the wedding of her brother Evans Kahn. :) Kate --- On Wed, 6/9/10, Peter Metcalfe <Peter-redfern@runbox.com> wrote: From: Peter Metcalfe <Peter-redfern@runbox.com> Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] kahn To: NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 5:36 AM Hi All I am seeking information on a Kahn family who lived in New York.
