According to MacLean, History of Antigonish, vol 2, p 182: living in New York.
“Before I was born and as a small child (maybe 4, which would have been 1950) my grandmother had a flat at 110 St. and Amsterdam Avenue in NYC. She stayed there in the Winter and returned to Heatherton in the Summer. I do not know the exact dates, but I do know she was doing this before 1945. At the time, my father, Fauster and his brother Wallace both lived in NYC. Another brother, Graham lived in Albany, NY or just north of Albany in Brant Lake, NY. But, then she stopped coming to NY and we would go to Heatherton every summer to see her. She died at the Sanitarium in Kentville in March of 1961.” [Mary Ann McDonald McConnell, Dec. 2000]

According to “Biographical Review… Province of New Brunswick”, Samuel Skinner was born in Nova Scotia and during his life was a leading builder and contractor of St. John, N.B.

Adam Edwards: Life as a widower
Since the death of his wife, Adam Edwards has come to realise that a widower’s existence doesn’t have to be miserable.

 It was late last spring when my half-Russian wife Natasha died at the age of 54, after a long and debilitating illness. After a quarter of a century of marriage, I was on my own. It was not a role for which I was prepared. It was not just the grief, for which nobody can prepare, but also the readjustment to living. I was like a motorcycle that had suddenly lost its sidecar; wobbling along without a companion to help me around the corners.
 The last time I was driving solo I was living in a top-floor, one-bedroom Notting Hill Gate apartment that was so small that no matter where I was in the flat, I could reach the corded landline after just one ring. It was a bird perch; a “sock’’, as Martin Amis famously described such soulless bachelor pads, for sleeping, smooching and refuelling. Suddenly, at the age of 60, I was in a sock once more, only this time it is a modest-sized country house, a building that I had never before thought of as mine but rather as a family home owned mostly by the bank and, until this year, consisting of wife, dog, child and a ship’s container of white goods.
 Since Nat’s death, the place has subtly begun to revert to a rural version of my old bachelor flat. The dog, Zeb, a Jack Russell of uncertain pedigree, had to go if I was to build any sort of social life. He was, anyway, my wife’s tail-wagging mutt who would come to her call but not to mine and would welcome her by wriggling around on the carpet like a woolly worm. He would greet me, on the other hand, with complete indifference, which was unbecoming in a dependent animal who, in human years, was 57 years old. Nat’s death left him bereft, and a wonderful neighbour adopted him.
 My daughter Katya had left for the fleshpots of London shortly before the bereavement, and as for the white goods, I view them now as I always had, with antipathy. I dare not change the washing machine dials that are still on the setting last used by my wife, the swanky American fridge is now so over-capacitated that I have taken to using the fridge section as a wine cellar and the freezer as an ice bucket, while the cost of cooking a baked potato in the cream-coloured four-door electric Aga, which neither heats the water nor the central heating, could save the euro. The cooker was once the mother lode that fed my wife, daughter and myself. Now it only has me to service and its primary role is to cook a spud once a week. It would be cheaper to dine out at El Bulli.
 I moped about in those early months of widowhood. As a freelance journalist, it was easy to skive. I watched daytime television for the first time in my life, increased my intake of cigarettes and spent a lot of time clearing cupboards. The Polish “daily’’ said, somewhat undiplomatically, that the house needed a complete spring clean and the drone of her hoover was a tolling bell that drove me to the local wine bar, although not necessarily to drink (the doctor recently told me that my liver was “good... for Gloucestershire’’).
 By midsummer, nihilism had replaced grief and it took a rocket from my daughter, who has become something of a de facto wife, to pull me out of my self-pity. Quite soon after that, I began to realise that a widower’s life is not all gloom and domestic doom; quite the reverse, in fact.
 In the early autumn, invitations started to arrive. At first they tended to be for Sunday lunch - a feast in the Cotswolds that is as momentous as the Last Supper. Sometimes there was an awkward moment because nobody knew quite what to say other than, “I’m so sorry to hear your news.” And I, in turn, never knew exactly what to reply except “thank you’’. But after a few drinks, the stiffness disappeared. Nat was toasted and praised, her wit was celebrated and any foibles that she may have had were long forgotten.
 As I crept back into social life, I was frequently given the advice “don’t do anything for a year’’, which I had no intention of doing, and then asked the contradictory question: “Are you going to move back to London?’’
The latter was not, I think, meant rudely but rather it was a genuine inquiry. In the countryside, a single man is socially acceptable, even desirable at the occasional party, while a single woman, particularly a widow, is deemed an outcast. A host of attractive solo women have told me how lucky I am to be in my new role and how unfortunate they are. The reason for their wretched situation, they say, is that it is married women who run the social life in the shires and that they, as single women, pose a threat to the husbands.
 I am not sure that this is necessarily true, but the question about moving to London was usually followed up with the advice that I would be “mad’’ to do so as there were so many divorcées on the prowl. So far I have not been overwhelmed by rural crumpet but perhaps, because I am so out of practice, I am missing the signals.
 My friend Ricki, a single man who has been playing the field in Gloucestershire for several years, tells me that I should have an affair with a married woman to “gain some credibility” in the county - but not more than one, otherwise I will be shunned as a cad. In fact, it is only in London where I can claim so far to have been “hit on’’. And there I notice that the difference between the life of a callow bachelor in the early Eighties and an ageing widower in 2012 is that the matter of sex and whether or not it is available is brought up by the woman within the first few minutes of meeting her. In my new world, it is the women that are the aggressors. One ageing divorcée I met recently looked me up and down like a teenager ogling a stripper and commented: “nice bum’’.
 It is good to know my bottom is still the subject of approval after the fattening years of domestic bliss, but it is no substitute for my wife’s shapely behind beside me. She was there to prompt me when I forgot names, as a recipient of my moans when I had to sit next to the bore and to drive me home when I had a schooner or two too much to drink. In the country one works as a pair; every social event, with the exception of a Saturday drink at the pub, is based around couples, and to be single is to be a stray.
 There are other interesting sides to widowhood. Nat, a woman for whom politics and sport held little of interest, controlled the television remote. Since her death I have not watched a single soap opera, hospital drama or reality show. Instead I now subscribe to Sky Sports and have invested in the complete boxed sets of The West Wing. I have got rid of the dull family car, which was a four-wheel temple to health and safety, and replaced it with a two-door sporty number. And I have bought an iPod. There is no room on it for the crooning of the Rat Pack, of the Sinatras, Dean Martins and Sammy Davis Jnrs that my wife was so insistent on playing. Instead I have loaded it up with classic Sixties rock - in particular Pink Floyd, a group that had been banned in my house for a quarter of a century. Nat had only two requests before her death - the first was that the words “I’ve been to a marvellous party” should be on her headstone, and the second that Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips should be played at her funeral. I have left that song off the iPod as I cannot listen to it without blubbing.
 Meanwhile, I no longer worry about budgeting for a family and I have changed supermarkets from Tesco and its Stalinist Club Card for the more sophisticated climes of Waitrose. My marriage was a gourmet war between my preference for red meat and my wife’s fondness for white meat, with a pasta dish as the frequent compromise. Now I pick and choose the finest grub the supermarket deli has to offer (a slice of rare beef for one, for example, is no more expensive than spag bol for three), I give the vegetable section a miss and I do not have to stand like a dunce in the cosmetics department while Nat flirts with a decision. Furthermore, there are no more squabbles over the Chinese takeaway menu - I’ll never have to eat lemon chicken again.
 Other small things have come as a pleasant surprise. Nat insisted on cut flowers in the house - something about which I thought I cared little - and could not go shopping without bunching herself. After her death, I missed the flowers and the house is now never without them. My complaints about knick-knacks cluttering up the place were also misplaced. They are, I now realise, what make a home, although I’m not sure about the ghastly Russian cup and saucer that is, according to Nat, a very valuable heirloom that I dropped 10 years ago and which ever since has sat in shattered pieces on the drawing room mantelpiece waiting to be fixed.
 Perhaps the hardest thing about my new life is to resolve it with the old, to get on with life without guilt, to do things without always wondering if Nat would approve. Dr Samuel Johnson, in a letter to a friend about the state of widowhood, wrote: “The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless, till it is driven into a new channel.’’
 As the black clouds of despondency skid over me less frequently, a new channel is slowly emerging. But I know that it will take more time; probably much more time than I thought, as it is a racing certainty that Nat will continue to haunt me until I mend that damn Russian cup and saucer.

Adam Mackay Ganson (1862- ?), who emigrated from Scotland in 1862, was credited with being the George A, Fuller Company’s Superintendent of Construction for the Flatiron Building...in the parlance of the industry.."He built it". He and his wife, Maria Bull Ganson (daughter of the famous surgeon and scientist, George Joseph Bull) lived on Hamilton Avenue in New Rochelle. Adam is also said to have built the "Realty", "Pennsylvania Terminal", the "Trinity", and the "Trinity Annex Buildings", all for the George A. Fuller Company. The George A. Fuller Co. was considered to be the pioneer of the modern steel skeleton building. — David C. Garcelon April 17, 2009

Addison J. Platt was mayor of Sterling (1913-1914)

Adele Mandellaub (born August 10, 1893 in Kolomea ; † October 31, 1941 in the Belzec extermination camp) was the wife of the businessman Simon Mandellaub. She lived in Heilbronn from around 1912 and had Austrian citizenship at that time. In 1918 the entire family, who lived at first at Turmstrasse 14, later at Gartenstrasse 32 and from 1936 at Sicherheitserstrasse 9, became Polish. In 1933 Adele and Simon Mandellaub, who ran two shoe stores, had to sell their house at Kirchbrunnenstrasse 12. In the course of the “Poland Action” in October 1938, Adele and Simon Mandellaub were deported together with their nine-year-old daughter Silvia, whereas the older children Gisela, Markus and Eugen managed to emigrate to Palestine in March 1938. Adele Mandellaub and her husband arrived with their youngest daughter in their native Kolomea, although they had been deported via Bentschen. Allegedly, Adele Mandellaub returned to Heilbronn three months later to take care of the furniture she had stored. In August 1941 the German Wehrmacht set up a ghetto in Kolomea. Like her husband and daughter, Adele Mandellaub was deported from there to the Belzec extermination camp. The officially determined date of death is October 31, 1941. (Source)

Following several years of employment with the Maritime Life Insurance Company, he re-enlisted in the RCAF, serving many years on various bases throughout Canada and retiring as a major. He then took employment with Canex as a buyer, and transferred to Lahr, West Germany, where he served as purchasing agent for almost four years. Prior to his death, he was a partner of Ottawa Travel. He was cremated in Capitol Memorial Gardens.

Albert never married.

Alfred lived at Aylesford and about 1908 relocated to Round Hill, Annapolis County. During his early life her served 10 years in the 68th Bn, Kings County Regt., and on 14 March 1916 enlisted in the 219th Bn, Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force.

Following his second marriage in 1927, he lived at Paradise, where he died suddenly while visiting a neighbor. Following his war service Alfred was self-employed drilling wells throughout the Annapolis Valley" (Source: Vernon Morse Spurr, 1989).

Alfred-Alexandre Coutureau, ingénieur-géomètre de son état, demeurait au 13, rue Preschez à Saint-Cloud et fut l’inventeur de l’équerre d’alignement à réflexion, un outil indispensable aux topographes.

Coutureau optical square
 This optical square was invented by Alfred-Alexandre Coutureau ingénieur-géomètre in Saint-Cloud, France and patented in 1885 in France (pat. 169887), in Luxembourg (pat. 604) and in Germany (DRP 36083). According to the Berthelemy catalogue, the Coutureau optical square was adopted for use by the Italian Cadastre.
 Several (slightly different) versions are known: see Berthelemy 1890, Muret 1906, Morin 1910, and Secretan 1924. The optical square pictured at left is identical to the 1922 version sold by Secretan in their 1924 catalogue.

Andreas Jann reached New York aboard the Statesman out of Le Havre, France on July 12th, 1850. His name is listed in the ship manifest (#228 | age: 27 | country: Hesse | occupation: Farmer). As it was the usage at that time, his firstname has been translated into the americanized form, Andrew. He stayed in New York three years where he married Eva Horn, then moved in 1856 to Iowa City, Iowa. Andrew Jann was one of the founders of the Germain Aid society of this city. In 1860, the company he worked for moved to Des Moines, so he was transferred to this city where he lived until his death. Andrew Jann (and his sons) are mentioned in successive editions (1866 to 1900) of the Des Moines City Directory. Andrew’s daughter, Henrietta, wrote a very colourful description of the family adventures from New York to Iowa City and Des Moines (follow link below).

Anthoinette de Briat (du village de Lhom, paroisse de Saint-Palavy) est la marraine de Pierre Briat en 1670. Cela la place comme une éventuelle tante du baptisé. Elle pourrait donc être une sœur d’Antoine Briat (fils de Joandihou Briat)

Anthony studied at Dartmouth College (class of 1956) and at Harvard Business School.

Antoinette Briat est presque à coup sûr apparentée au Guinot Briat qui s’est établi dans le village de Liat (paroisse de Ligneyrac). En effet, au baptême de son premier fils – Pierre Foussat, né le 29 octobre 1650 – on voit apparaître comme parrain un dénommé Pierre Briat du village de Liat (paroisse de Ligneyrac). De même au baptême de son troisième fils – Guinot Foussat, le 25 décembre 1655 – le parrain est Guinot Briat du village de Liat.

Après avoir vécu les premières années de leur mariage à Bordeaux, puis Talence (où naît leur fille Colette en octobre 1922), les Devidas s’installent à Libourne en 1924 où Blanche exploite un commerce d’épicerie. La famille se sépare de cette épicerie à la fin de l’année 1925. (Source : parution d’une annonce légale dans La Chronique du Libournais, 13 novembre 1925, p. 3/4) :

« [...] Monsieur Roger DEVIDAS, préparateur en pharmacie, et Madame Blanche BRIAT, épicière, époux, demeurant ensemble à Libourne, avenue Georges-Clemenceau, numéro quarante-six, ont vendu à Monsieur Jean DUHAU, cultivateur, et Madame Jeanne MOIGNET, sans profession, époux, demeurant ensemble à Labrille, commune de Vignonet, le petit Fonds de Commerce d’Épicerie, Mercerie et VIns à emporter qu’ils exploitaient à Libourne, avenue Georges-Clemenceau, numéro quarante-six, comprenant l’enseigne d’Épicerie Saint-Ferdinand sous laquelle le dit fonds est connu et exploité. [...] »

   Fin 1925, la famille s’installe à Cubjac (Dordogne) où naîtra leur second enfant, Claude, en octobre 1926. Roger Devidas travaille alors comme préparateur à la pharmacie de M. Léonce Durand.
 En 1928, nouveau déménagement pour Brantôme (Dordogne) et nouveau lieu de travail : la pharmacie Peyrot située rue Gambetta. Ils y resteront six ans. Jean Briat, le père de Blanche, viendra passer ses dernières années à Brantôme, en compagnie de son épouse Marie Peyronnet ; il décède en 1931. C’est à Brantôme que naît le dernier enfant de la famille, Jacques, en novembre 1929.
 En 1934, pour se rapprocher de son frère Louis lequel est directeur de la Société d’électricité rurale de la Benauge, Roger Devidas obtient un poste à la pharmacie centrale de l’asile de Cadillac-sur-Garonne, alors dirigé par Albert Mamelet (sa fille Marie-Rose fera une brillante carrière de haut-fonctionnaire, et sera à l’initiative d’une refonte de la psychiatrie hospitalière française des années 1960-1970). À la fin 1936, survient un accident malheureux. La chute d’une tuile lors d’un orage interrompra brutalement la vie familiale à Cadillac, Roger est hospitalisé d’urgence et ne peut momentanément plus travailler.
 En février 1937, la famille s’installe à nouveau à Bordeaux au 21 rue Duffour-Dubergier où Roger a retrouvé du travail et aide Pierre Petiot (diplômé en 1908) à la création d’une nouvelle pharmacie.
 En septembre 1938, le pharmacien de Hautefort (Dordogne) Louis Galtier (ingénieur chimiste de 1re classe) est à la recherche d’un préparateur de confiance pour l’aider à gérer l’officine. L’offre convient aux Devidas qui s’installent à Hautefort. Ils y resteront jusqu’en 1953.
 Au cours des années suivantes, Roger reprend une charge d’assureur à Périgueux auprès de la compagnie « La France ». Il décède à Périgueux en 1964. Son épouse, Blanche, tiendra ensuite un commerce de tabac-journaux à Saint-Pierre-de-Chignac jusqu’en 1972.

Roger Devidas a été secrétaire général du groupe régional Sud-Ouest de l’association des « Combattants de moins de vingt ans » (Source : Bulletin de l’association Les Combattants de moins de vingt ans, 1re année, n° 2, quatrième trimestre 1937). La première réunion de cette section se tient le 22 octobre 1937 à l’Athénée à Bordeaux. Un court article de la Liberté du Sud-Ouest du 1er novembre 1937 relate cette réunion :

« Les Anciens Combattants de moins de Vingt ans — L’assemblée statutaire s’est tenue le 22 courant à l’Athénée. La plupart de membres de l’association de « moins de 20 ans » étaient présents. Le rapport moral fut présenté par Devidas, sécrétaire général, et approuvé à l’unanimité. Il en fut de même pour le rapport financier présenté par Guyard, trésorier. Après une allocution du Dr Girou, plusieurs membres posèrent un certain nombre de questions et firent part de leurs désidérata. De nouveaux membres ont été admis ; dix-sept sont venus immédiatement grossir notre effectif qui devient de jour en jour plus important. Pour ceux qui sont encore hésitants, nous définissons ici nos buts : union, camaraderie, entr’aide, sans distinction de parti ou de croyance. Notre groupement réunira bientôt la majeure partie des Anciens combattants de moins de 20 ans. Prochaine réunion amicale, vendredi 5 novembre [1937], à 21 heures, Café Gambetta, 20, place Gambetta. Pour renseignements, s’adresser au Dr Girou, 77, rue Judaïque ; à R. Devidas, secrétaire général, 21, rue Duffour-Dubergier. »

En 1951, Roger Devidas est nommé suppléant du juge de paix du canton de Hautefort en remplacement de Louis Galtier qui a été atteint par la limite d’âge. (Source : Journal officiel du 4 août 1951).

Arthur Vernon Woodworth was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1865. He attended the Roxbury Latin School before enrolling at Harvard University. After graduation in 1891, he earned a BA in divinity from Cambridge Episcopal Theological School and a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Freiburg, Germany in 1896. Upon receiving his PhD, Woodworth served as secretary to a committee researching the living conditions of unemployed people in Great Britain.
In 1898, Woodworth joined the Boston Stock Exchange. Ten years later he became a partner in a brokerage firm. In 1920, he resigned this position and joined the faculty at HBS as Instructor in Finance.

In addition to teaching at at HBS, Woodworth tutored students in history, government, and economics.
Professor Woodworth was married with three children. He died in Boston in 1950. (Source: Harvard University)

Arthur was listed as a farmer when he married. He was a Mechanical Engineer, in drafting, working for for the NS car works. Later he became General Superintendent of Companies in Fredericton, NB, Hamilton, Ont.; Dayton, Ohio, manufacturing shells for WWI in Batavia, NY, Missouri and Findlay, Ohio.

 On ne trouve pas son acte de décès dans les registres du Bouscat pour l’année 1912, alors qu’elle est enregistrée dans la table des successions et absences où son nom est orthographié fautivement « Daveau ».

From Nazi Medicine and the Nuremberg Trials, by Paul Julian Weindling (p. 160): “[...] The mounting piles of documents necessitated establishing procedures for their consultation so that nothing shoud go astray and alos to prevent deliberate destruction of evidence. The IMT prosecution had in fact lost the one surviving copy of the vital Wannsee Conference minutes (it was rediscovered in March 1947). Fortunately, all trial documents had been duplicated en masse. The defence was provided with a reading room. A small industry supported translation and duplication of the documents.
 The Court established an archive on 21 February 1947, keeping track of original documents under conditions of high security. The archivist, Barbara Skinner Mandelaub, serviced the prosecution and defence, maintaining a definitive set of trial transcripts. The staff was subject to a rigorous efficiency rating to maintain output and quality of work. A requirement for an archives assistant was meticulous presentation and order, as These elements a of importance in prepration or records such as indexing, cataloguing and classifying of material which is to be of permanent value for legal an historical reference for generations to come. Mandelaub increased the security and made sure that only archives staff retrieved or filed records, and the archives issued certified copies rather than originals so that nothing could be lost or destroyed. The Trial Documents achieved what amounted to sacrosanct status, once they had gone through the stages of authentication and been presented to the Court, where their authenticity could be challenged. Culprits were to be convicted by the masses of paperwork that the desk-bound killers had generated.”
