Slight refactoring of an initial text from 1911 encyclopedia -- Please update as needed


Can anyone tell me what the purpose of all the random quote marks is?

2 ' is italics 3 ' is bold 5 ' is bold italics Danny

I think the question referred to their use in the text in the John Alden page where they seem to simply be quote marks that were in the original text that was lifted from an old encyclopedia. If someone dared me to I'd plunge in there and refactor them all out!....oh, what the heck, I will anyway....

[edit] Martha Stewart

Were all of Martha Stewart's parents parents born in Poland ? That's what I found on the web, and it makes me wonder if she really is descended of John Alden. If she is fine, leave it in there, 'cause the last time I did any Alden stuff here the entire article got deleted, and I never did find out why. So, can somebody who is aware of what is actually true either source this or delete the assertion if it is untrue ? John5Russell3Finley 18:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
