Grrr. it took me so long to type my reply, it logged me out. There is a new site called Fold3.com that has a lot of good info, and has (5) EV records, one of which is listed in Cali -- about the right time frame. Maybe someone can check it out - I dont feel like I have enough grasp to make the...

That's right up my alley! I'll get started on that and keep you posted :)

Hope everyone had a great 4th. I was wondering, Doogie or AnnasMom, if you had something specific that I could research / work on? It seems like that might be more productive than searching random things...

Can they do skip tracing that far back? My thought was finding a neighbor who might still be around and remember anything. Of course, it would probably have to be a very young neighbor...

Sidenote -- my nonna came here from italy in the 1940s and her papers had little info, as well as inaccurate information... In fact, it listed origin as "world" which is pretty vague. lol. As we search for GB it might be a good idea to keep in mind how inaccurate the record-keeping was...

Just a little follow-up... I wrote the dept of classics at Princeton over the weekend to see if perhaps they could decipher any of the strange references to eifee that I can across.... my thought was perhaps GW was exposed to something during his studies, or they would recognize a reference...

The second letter looks like a little "L" but it is actually a capital "I" in a sans serif font -- I double checked it by pulling the word into MS Word and changing the font -- also google is recognizing it as an "I" not an "L" i understand the numerology aspect, but I figured it couldnt hurt...

wow. annasmom, be sure to read the wikipedia entry. this guy seems to have created alot of concepts that GW and GB might have been into to - and if you look in the notes section, there are some books / articles that were published about this Gorgias in 1970-1972. sorry for all the posts, there...

I took a closer look at those links because I was so tired last night -- the excerpt is partially in english and partially in what I think is greek -- but it talks about how the stronger should have more than the weaker... and its got the word gorgias in it -- which must mean george! Gorgias...

I also searched the source code, and the word is not in there. Again, the reference is to horses. I did some additional searching of mares / horses of diomedes and was unable to find anywhere that listed the names of the horses. Another point of interest is that in the first link I sent, the...

Hercules Reference: Read the top result carefully. The problem is that when you click the link, it takes you to an article. the word is not in the excerpt, so I think it must be somewhere in the full article. they charge you $9.95, and I didnt buy it because I cant read it. It does look like...

AnnasMom, Do you think maybe that is Latin, then? I had some in school, but it has be soooo long! Since GW was a Dr, that might make sense, as he should be somewhat familiar with the latin language? Here are the links, etc., that I ran across: From Google-Greece: This is just a list of...

My thought on the airlines is that there could only be a few that might offer those international flights at that time, so maybe it would narrow it down?

sorry to post-hog. there was a translator on the bottom of the page: it only lets you do 3-4 words at a time: "Psacli eifee nagh" means: "Agile if cheapens." or "If healing escape." maybe someone else can help us figure out the meaning of the word, since it is a real one?

I dont know if this link is helpful, but it appears that eifee is a greek word: http://mv.lycaeum.org/anagrams/PARALINGUA.cgi?article=Onide this page is all greek to me (sorry for the lame joke) but I found one reference in google that attached eifee to the name of the mares of diomedes, 4...
