The U.S.-Cuba flap
Cuba has called
on the United States to respond to accusations
that Washington's top diplomat

[Eleazer "Lea," Eleazer
"Zar," Eleazer "Ellie,"
Eleazer, David W., Eleazer, Jehiel, Stephen,
Stephen, John, John] to respond to

Commercial
artist Raymond "Ray" C.
Parmelee's [1882- ? ; Lewis
Hall, Charles Prentice, Theodore Hudson,
Theodore, Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, John, John]
work graced the covers of dozens pieces of sheet music. Over
the years, many copies have been sold on the web,
traded by collectors and framed as art in
home-decorating schemes. Take a look at some of
the Ohio native's works -- and listen to

World War I Draft
Cards
Almost
100 years ago, 24 million American
men filled cards in a nationwide conscription
program. Those cards -- all 688 under our
families' name -- have been made public and I'm
willing to share our family's with you. The data
provide a nice snapshot of the family in 1917-18. You can check out
great-grandpa's signature, learn how
"your" spelling of the family name
stacks up with the rest and find out just where
your kids may have inherited those gray eyes.

And we're thankful for your submissions, like
this one of the dedication of a marker for Roswell Parmelee

himself in the baked-bean business in Boston and

Puzzling Portraits
We're
pretty sure that one of the photos in this album is that of Robert
Parmley (1789-1875), who was the father
of 24 -- count 'em -- 24 children! But just who
the rest of these folks are has us stumped. Can
you help us identify any of these people?
