The one thing I've always found maddening about your well-researched, comprehensive log is that in the midst of your pithy creativity, you sometimes neglect to say "from where?" As in "from where is Cary Elwes Jewish?" Is he a quarter on his dad's side? Does he have scattered Eastern European ancestry? What's the Jewish connection? I did a quick Google and couldn't find one.

ReplyDeleteWell, if we always say "from where", it starts getting repetitive... And stuff like that can usually be looked up.
ReplyDeleteMaternal great-grandfather
follow the path: Cary mother grandmother great-grandfather
ReplyDeleteNot Cary's real first name.
I can't find anything out there even saying he's remotely Jewish.....so not sure where you got this one....
ReplyDeleteSee above. Also:
ReplyDeletegreat-grandfather, born Ivan Rikard Mendel Kraus, converted to Christianity, changed name to Ivanovic.
Ah, interesting! And so obscure!
ReplyDeleteApparently Mr. Elwes's stepfather was also Jewish.
