Re: bananarama's KUY Congrats - Sign-ups and Round 1
LN: Synge
DH: Samuel Joseph Synge (4/9/1879)
DW: Mary Elizabeth [Abernathy] Synge (12/14/1881)
DD: Thomasina Celeste Synge (7/24/1900)Location: Los Angeles, CaliforniaIMPORTANT: Sam Synge, according to those who know him, is blessed with an inordinant amount of luck. It was no surprise to any of them then when the young inventor managed to catch the eye of the only daughter of a wealthy industrialist on his first day in L.A. Mary Elizabeth (usually Libby to her friends) was absolutely smitten with the charming young immigrant, his quirky inventions and endlessly charming personality. Despite protests from Libby's father, the two eloped just barely a month after meeting. Libby's father, Frederick Abernathy, was not at all happy with the development but nonetheless gave Sam a good job in his company so that the young man would be able to support Frederick's daughter in the manner to which she was accustomed. Sam excelled far beyond his father-in-law's expectations, proving himself astute and intelligent in the business affairs and gradually winning Frederick over. Thomasina was born about a year after the couple married and named after Sam's deceased brother and Libby's deceased mother. If Frederick had any lingering doubts about his son-in-law, they were all laid to rest when he saw his beautiful granddaughter for the first time. Frederick greatly enjoys doting on the girl, as do her parents.
