Grandpa
Gannam and his brother Maroun registered for the draft in WWI. There are several
other persons who also registered in Manchester, New Hampshire in 1918, who share
the Ganem name. Grandpa's registration is sure to cause some questions. He lists
his date of birth as 17 April 1885, his tombstone states 20 July 1880, and his
social security card states 20 July 1882. Maroun states that his date of birth
is 9 March 1878, his death certificate states 1 November 1883, and his tombstone
states 10 April 1878. Anybody like any other dates?
