Anna Mary Courtel (b. 1885) m. Michael Joseph Lysaght (Ireland) in New York at some time prior to 1921, and probably c. 1910s. Was still in Jersey in the 1901 Census, which makes sense since she was still quite young.

Questions:
*Where and when was Louis Courtel born? Check census of France, held every five years from 1791. Check 1851, 1856
-Probably from Côtes-d'Armor department, check their censuses first.
-Possibly also from Manche or Ille-et-Vilaine.
-Potentially from Saint-Brice, Mayenne (1911 census)


*When and where did Anna Courtel leave Jersey?
-Had to be before 1920s, because Grandpa Jack born 1921 in NYC.
-Did she travel to Montreal initially? How did she come to be in New York? How did she meet l'Irlandais?

The Light on the Stairs

  He stopped, transfixed, on the stairs. Something about the window- the way the light cascaded through its multicolored panels and pooled at his feet on the carpet staircase had caught his attention this morning that hadn’t been there before. No, it must’ve been there the whole time- it was just that he hadn’t seen it until this morning. Green, red, yellow, blue, and purple light spread itself into a divine tapestry and here he was standing right in the middle of it, totally unaware of its existence. How could he have been so blind?

It was, I believe, just something that was tacked on to provide some extra space for clutter. But to my child brain, it was a gateway to an infinite number of magical worlds. It represented something hidden, yet accessible.   So, it has finally come to this. I've grown so bored at work that I have decided (at last!) to delve into the Ulyssean tome that is House of Leaves by Mark Danielew...

Writing Diary 2026 #3 (January 7th)

 Well, it's been a few days. Not much progress has been made. I think I'm starting over yet again. I have another idea, I have renewed hope for motivation, etc. I also made a new website over the past couple days, but it's still barebones. It may stay that way forever, who knows. That's at www.1800newgods.com if you want to check it out. If you get the reference, email me. Okay bye.
