Ada's half sisters were Allegra and Medora. Allegra was the daughter of Claire Clairmont; sadly, she died of Typhus at the age of five. I have not been able to obtain any information about Medora. Ada's formidable, devoted, and intelligent mother was Annabella (actually Anne Isabella), nee Milbanke, who separated from Byron shortly after Ada's birth, and brought up Ada on her own in England. Annabella can be credited with supporting Ada's interest in mathematics. In the 1850's in England, this was a brave stance; Annabella must have been as remarkable a woman, in her day, as her daughter. So, three more possible names: Annabella (suggested to me by Steve Doran, thanks Steve); Allegra; Medora. Byron originally wanted Allegra to be called Alba (but Claire insisted on Allegra), so Alba is a fourth possibility. ----- Any of these, possibly? -- Best wishes, Nick Roberts "Ted Dennison" wrote in message news:Uz2H7.19771$xS6.32425@www.newsranger.com... > In article <3BECA762.2FC62F71@acm.org>, Jeffrey Carter says... > > > >Ted Dennison wrote: > >> > >> I notice that Java add-ons like to expand on the caffinated hot bevarage > >> theme.
