    edit President Eisenhower’s profile

    * President Eisenhower’s maternal grandfather was Simon P. Stover (the son of Daniel Stover and Mary Ann Hannah Frantz). Simon was born in Virginia. Daniel was the son of Daniel Stover and Barbara Benedict.

    Really? My comment on Keke Wyatt was removed? What policy did it break? This is really starting to get ridiculous. So you, Follers, don’t want anyone to question your behaviour (I feel like that’s the common thread with these comment removals)? Maybe you should add that to the list of rules in that case.

    But of course, this comment will probably be removed in a minute too.

      What is the pre-occupation with free speech absolutism and involving yourself in other people’s (non-genealogical) discussions?

      None of that has anything to do with the main purpose of this site. Instead of answering on the Talitha Bateman or Blackie Lawless pages, both of which you created with a number of remarkable errors, ”this” is what you spend your time on?

      I wouldn’t normally pick on the Bateman or Lawless thing, but why do I constantly have to fight a battle on three or four different fronts? Why did you insert yourself into this argument?

      I find it impossible to understand.

        I’m not pre-occupied with free speech absolutism. I think it’s right to remove certain comments, like racism. Right now I’m criticizing an arbitrary standard for what comments are removed, since some doesn’t break the rules of the site (and it seems like ethnic doesn’t like it either). If you don’t want anyone to get involved in these discussions, you should have them in a private forum.

        What exaclty do you want me to answer on Bateman and Lawless? That I haven’t found any Jewish ancestry, when his whole ancestry is now found in detail? And I hope you really don’t think I spend more time on this than on researching genealogy (and I also have other things to do in life than this site altogether).

    This is probably his uncle. I believe their ancestry goes back to a man named Lopez Kamen. Not sure if he was Jewish or not. But he was a fairly distant ancestor, born in the early 1800s.

    As for Amster, she says,
    “I’ve never met my father, and my mother wouldn’t talk about him… But I’ve done a bit of investigating over the years into my heritage. From what I’ve learned, it’s more likely I’m from a Mediterranean, maybe Greek, background.”
