Coming up for air shortly. I really did spend the entire day in my Merge Center.

I have a question...is there a way to find the affidavits that were signed during the war? sponsoring Jewish immigrants?

Hmm, I've met Jim Schlesinger. I didn't know he had Jewish roots. His profile is private.

Selig Starr and Harold Brown are private.

SSG Isadore "Izzy" Jachman is private.

I believe I have added the public ones and am caught up.

Clement Greenberg

I'll be offline until Sunday due to house guests. See you later!

Damn it Robin Lent,
now the conspiracy freaks will be complaining that not only is Barack Obama a Muslim, he's also Jewish. So no matter how you look at it, he's out for world-control. <<== Sarcasm

Shmuel, one of my customers was complaining about the President being a Muslim. I told him that's fantastic - we have our first Muslim president, now we need a Jewish president ;)

(Maybe I should go back to him armed with Robin's information and see if I can push that xenophobic button a couple more times ...)

Eric Cantor, U.S. Congress

Here are two more:

Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and Meyer Lansky (born as Meyer Suchowljansky)

Partially responsible for the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

You will have to find them yourself as I'm busy adding in some other important genealogies.

I haven't seen "Dr. Atomic," J(ulius) Robert Oppenheimer (my 4th cuz, BTW) on this list.

Judith,
that would be J. Robert Oppenheimer.
