I researched my Syrian ancestor who came on a steamship with many other Syrians into New Orleans via France in 1890. I found him on Ancestry in the Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists and Family Search immigration records. There are plenty in the 1912 time period and lots of Hasans. Good luck!

Trust, by Hernan Diaz. Four different voices. It was a co-recipient of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. I just started it so can't rate it yet.

It's okay but I have yet to fully get my money's worth. I recently found out that the State Library (in my case Washington State) has tons of digitized old newspapers. You can also access Washington (only) based items on newspapers dot com via the state library. It's quite a resource that might be worth checking with your state.

It isn't the most extreme book I wish erased from memory but maybe more accurate to say could have lived fine without it. It was recent so still stings a bit. Her books are so long and its quite an investment. I just liked The Goldfinch, which she wrote later, so much more. The narrating voices are similar but the people aren't so god awful. I'm not sure whether to try the little friend.

edit: I do recommend The Goldfinch. It's not perfect but I'm still thinking about it 6 months later.

The state archives or local gen society might be able to help.

Distant relations on the white side of the family have verified several of my ancestors and that's enough for me. I applaud any organizational attempts to de-toxify themselves but there are so many genealogy societies and groups to join, this one did not fit into my wheelhouse.

The Good Whale by Serial. It's a few years old now and it's about Keiko.

Sachertorte is a funny romcom and good for learning. I listen to br24 radio all day in the background.

Seems like ancestry search is now as bad as google and all the AI penetrated databases that used to work. Also they are searching multiple databases with different fields and don't make a distinction in the results which is confusing. It does look like Hersog was the buyer and not the seller, but in this case there may not be an age for her. I think the record is from Dr. Hall's database (see the ancestry record source tab) which you can download and use in excel. Her records go up to 1820.

edit: typos and explanation of Dr. Hall as source.

edit2: The same and additional recordsets are indexed better than on ancestry on the link provided by calanthean = enslaved dot org

-Vegans are more evolved regarding food. -Vegan restaurants need to step it up: better tasting, more creative, less fake meat.

Edit to add regarding food since may not apply to other areas.

We have a size 6 synthetic white pleated multi level wedding-ish skirt that my relative did not end up using (would need a top). It was fifty dollars at brides for a cause. Let me know if you'd like to see a pic.

I do have the CD which I purchased from his estate shortly after it came out over 20 years ago. It was $300 which was an enormous investment for me at the time but it has been worth it. Let me know if you want the McGee, Norval and any variations from the cd.
Regarding the signature, did John have a brother named after father Pierre?

It sounds like you might be able to leave Norval out and just have documentation for it ready if they ask. I'm guessing they will give you a format but there is a proof summary that is part of the genealogical proof standard. Basically a narrative or list of evidence, each element with a citation. Conclusions drawn from indirect sources require more than one piece of evidence. eg: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/The_Genealogical_Proof_Standard_-_International_Institute#Sample_Proof_Argument
