unc, was the person born where you are famous for sports?


Hi squeeeb...glad you joined the gammme.

Shell, come on! keep playing! We've all screwed up numerous times, and I think we get almost as much fun out of the mess-ups as we do of finding someone. Plus, if you stay I promise to watch anudder one a doze chick flicks.

...it wasn't anyone's doing here that made me abandon ship. I just had a moment of frustration with myself...for being on the computer too long, for messing up with the clue's, and for some minor issues with some other threads in the tfp. I actually feel safest here in this thread and consider it my home base while i venture out into the "streets" of the tfp. You all have been very friendly and respectful here in this thread and i'm very grateful for that because it's been TONS of fun as well as challenging and enlightening.

....okay, i'm in. But two things...
...what is POTUS and NSFW ?
....and could someone please recap what we've got so far? I'm still lost.
I know we're in the state of New York looking for someone's birthplace, it's not NYC,
and it's not an Island (which leaves out walt whitman from long island) but what else do we know?

...is it in a town (not a city)?

POTUS= President of the US
NSFW= Not safe for work


We know, so far, famous 19th centurry birth place in NY somewhere. Not a former POTUS, not a literary figure, not related to golf, no Adm. Mathew Perry and looking for a male person's birth place.

I think that's it, but coffees still trying to do it's job I may have missed something(s.)

Edit-

I'm not sure we know it's not in NYC somewhere. I'm missing the clue that rules that out

...Issac Post's birthplace in Westbury, NY? His home was an active station on the Underground Railroad sometimes housing between 10 - 20 refugees in one night. He became implicated in John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry in 1857 and fled the country to avoid possible arrest.

Shell's right with her Black Sea guess...the country I'm in borders the Black Sea.

So not in Poland, squeeeb.

Tul, yes the person was born in the 19th century.

The person, as well as the birthplace of this person, have some connection to my family heritage and my name.
