Actually, I guess it's, "Stewart's Pin Money Luncheon." There was large Stewart's Department Store in Baltimore.

Ta-da! My guess is, the inn or restaurant had a colonial theme, and someone cut out George Washington. This was a yard sale find in an old frame.

I was leaning toward the '20's, also. Thanks!

Hello All,
I wonder if I could get a timeframe for when this menu may have been printed. The prices (55 cents for luncheon) and terms like, "pin-money" are sure clues to you my fellow history sleuths. There is a surprise on the other side I'll reveal in the next post!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: 4th Great or 5th Great?
« on: Sunday 08 October 23 22:29 BST (UK) »Is it possible to provide this as a tree? It would be easier to understand.
On the cM you provide, they all look reasonable, particularly the 2C1R one.
But it's worth noting that as each generation is added, the precision of cM decreases. e.g. a 900cM match could be a relatively small number of degrees of relation; while a 8cM could be many types of relation. For example an 8cM match could be anything from a 3rd to 8th cousin.
It sounds like you may benefit from using this tool: https://dnapainter.com/tools/probability
Don't enter matches below 40cM. With all your matches, you should be able to get a good idea of the possible relationships.
Thank you very much, 4b2,
I will try to figure a way to show my tree, at least for this line. I have been using DNA Painter. In fact, when I started using it, this theory really seemed more plausible. However, I have been using matches well below 40cM. That's a great idea, thanks!
I just did the ancestry test, and I only wish I could enter the matches there into DNA Painter.

William's daughter, Susan had Londonderry as place of birth entered on her record of death in Ontario. So there could be a Londonderry connection. If there are updated links someone could share that would be great.

Yes, that pesky recombination. Definitely not cut 'n' dry.
