Discrepancy on a grandmother. He has the wife of Eli Goldman as Minnie Jacobs, but I see a marriage record:
NAME: Eli Goldman
GENDER: Male
RESIDENCE: Portland, ME
SPOUSE'S NAME: Minnie Mack
SPOUSE'S GENDER: Female
SPOUSE'S RESIDENCE: Portland, ME
MARRIAGE DATE: 13 Jun 1936
MARRIAGE PLACE: Maine, USA

Her parents are
Isaac Mack 1855 –
Sarah Goldberg 1860 – 1915
According to this ancestry.com tree
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/29298207/person/26429540940
And she had had an earlier marriage to an unknown Goldman with a son (b 1938) married Carlene; don't know if accurate.
I might set up this Minnie's parents separately until Ethan can check?
And ... we're in.
A.J. Jacobs is Ethan Daniel Goldman's second cousin once removed's husband's 6th great uncle's wife's first cousin's husband's 6th great granddaughter's husband's nephew.
