Just some FYI from a local DC, Maryland gal. Jos Gawlers was and still is a very esteemed and prestigious funeral home that has held the remains of many prominent people, including President John Kennedy. I grew up with a nephew.

Hi, Can you give us some more clues at all? Was her name in a letter-ad-news article that connects perhaps with a line of yours. Was she in a census somewhere etc?? It might help to know a little about where you got her name or the idea that her parents had a market.

Have you tried [email protected] ? I sent a test message about an hour ago and it hasn't bounced back. Ruth

Can anyone porvide any information on this vague clue: I'm looking for Mary's last name. She was Italian and her parents had some kind of a market on New Jersey Avenue back in the 30's or 40's. Not much to go on but a good genealogist should leave no stone unturned! Thanks, Sue

GOOD NEWS!!! -- We can now search on ancestry.com without having to put in three characters for the name. Up until now, if you entered a partial first name or a partial last name, you had to enter at least three characters. But Steve Morse has written some new code that gets around this limitation by searching on all combinations of the letters that we left out. For example, suppose you want to search for all people with first initial J and last name Smith. Steve's software will automatically search for all Smiths with first names starting with Jaa, then Jab, then Jac, etc. up to Jzz. It might take as much as 5 minutes to get all the results, but it's automatic -- you submit one search and Steve does 676 searches for you. And if you search for all Smiths with first name starting with Ja, Steve can do that faster (less than ten seconds) because he only has to do 26 searches in that case. To use this feature, go to Steve's website at http://stevemorse.org and select any of his search forms that use ancestry (e.g., any of his passenger search forms other than Ellis Island, and his census search-by-name form for any census year). Then enter less than three characters for either the first or last name, and Steve's new software will kick in, doing repeated searches on your behalf. If you have any problems with it or questions about it or even comments about it, please write to Steve directly rather than asking me. Steve's address is at the top of his website. - Diane Jacobs Somerset, NJ
