> Did Margot adopt Saint Ursula's name? > > Lawrence. Thanks for the comments! Genealogy is like slaying the hydra - answer one question and you come up with half a dozen more! The "legend" came from an article by the then chaplain of St Ursula's in the 1950s. The Ellis Island manifests and subsequent inspection of the US Censuses bear out the basic details, but raise the question - if the patient was not called Ursula but Margot Alice, where has the story of the church being named after her come from? The church was not there when Margot came to Berne, and the (patchy) church records have no detail of where the name came from. Fortunately, serendipity has been on my side, and I have in the last 24 hours discovered details of a daughter (who died last year - just my luck!) and granddaughter. I've written to her. (It's possible the name was a play on the Bernese coat of arms, which depict a bear - "Ursula" means "little bear"...) Hector
