Mysteries in a Public Bathroom: Chapter Twenty-Something

[mer]

Scene: a bathroom stall. The floor is wet (per usual) but also littered with confetti-like strips of toilet paper and...

Cake crumbs?


Speculation: one-person bathroom-stall birthday party. For the loneliest, creepiest girl in the world.

Have you looked for them on the Ellis Island website? It's a lot of fun to play with. You can see original ship' registers, even (warning: some of those are two pages and it often brings up the 2nd page, without the names - so scroll back one). I was able to find all kinds of great-grandparents / aunts on it. In my case he first names varied quite a bit, even between, say, the wife's record of the husband she was going to meet in the US and the husband's record from his own sailing, some months earlier.
