It's quite unsatisfactory -- it should have been complemented with
similar
material from both US (National Archives, say) and Germany (where he
died) and perhaps even Austrian/Hungarian if they still exist. I would,
for instance, very much want to know where he was buried -- the burial
records should be useful data.
The main reason I submitted it was that I hoped it would point other
researchers towards standard genealogical archives -- such as passenger
lists,
naturalization records, census re****ts, etc. Finding a name that was
not 'Samuel' or 'Simon' helped a bit, though.
