That is great information about my heritage. My daughters, Andrea and Laura, will be eternally grateful for your perseverance and willingness to share your findings.

This morning after I read your email, I ran out to the library to see what else I could learn. Actually, I had to go to two libraries because the one in my hometown doesn't have free access to Ancestry.com. Nevertheless, the only hard information I got in either place was an entry in the December 16, 1943 New York Times. The Times has an annual charity drive and a contribution was made in the memory of Celia Meyers. I have to guess that this is my grandmother although I can't be sure as there is more than one Meyers.

Ancestry.com got me into Census information up to 1930 and back. Would you believe that I couldn't find anything for Celia and Abraham. Bummer! Did they hide when the census taker came to their door?

I did find a Hattie entry in the passenger section for the Bremen. On November 11, 1937 one of the passengers listed Hattie Carnegie as a friend. Not sure if she was with him, though. Maybe he had to list someone in the US that he was visiting. Anyway he was a designer from Paris. His name is Louis Andre Berthoult. The Bremen left from Cherbourg, France.
Maybe with some luck you'll find a family contact and we'll be able to get together. That would be great, wouldn't it?

So now you know that I wasn't just a lot of hot air. When I told you that if we could learn that Celia married a Meyers, that would close the deal for us. Well, you discovered it and I know more about my rich heritage.

Thanks soooooo much!
Love, Bill
