An example of a story that has the potential of solving a family history puzzle was published in the ''Brooklyn Standard Union'', 22 September 1931:

:Mrs. Richard Policke, 204 Prospect Place, was surprised yesterday when a man and a woman rang her doorbell and the man said:

:“Hello, Rose, I’m Fritz. It sure has been a long time.”

:It developed that Charles F. Feisel, a wealthy California ranch and realty owner, decided after 40 years of toil to take his first vacation. Leaving Hollywood with his wife, he came to Brooklyn to look for his sister. They were separated in 1893 after coming to America from Germany. With the capital of $8, Mr. Feisel started West, reaching Los Angeles in 1895. Mr and Mrs. Feisel are stopping at the Hotel McAlpin.
