Well, this would be kind of a stretch, there is a place with Brooklyn as part of its name in New Jersey...

We don't know where the information you had that you were trying to confirm that Margit was born Jan 1888 in Brooklyn came from, either.

Kċarto: Getting familiar with posting and responding and have made a few mistakes along the way! Wanted to make sure you received my last query about what you said in the above reply. Can you elaborate on what you mean "the family name Abel is protected by the Law". Who is doing the protecting and what does that entail? thanks so much.
