  1. 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.

  2. Well, if we always say "from where", it starts getting repetitive... And stuff like that can usually be looked up.

  4. See above. Also:
    great-grandfather, born Ivan Rikard Mendel Kraus, converted to Christianity, changed name to Ivanovic.

  5. Ah, interesting! And so obscure!

    Apparently Mr. Elwes's stepfather was also Jewish.
