I think this is a great idea. Would probably be very difficult but I do think if there was a way to find more records, or employees (or family of employees who may have records and not realize the significance
), this could be extremely helpful.
One of the most difficult things to really get a definitive answer on seems to be the size of the sheet.......but thanks to some dedicated board members, I think, aside from discovering a long lost sheet
- people like Chris and Erick are getting us closer to actually putting a virtual one together- like in that thread with the Lash's postcards.
Good luck Bill, it's hard finding out things others haven't already found out
I literally tried for months- and really couldn't come up with anything new. The Library of Congress was very helpful- even they said if there were more records (like Steve said above) from the ALC it could answer a lot of questions. Maybe you could comb newspaper articles and make some discoveries.
