Correction to Record Concerning Emilio King Solomon

[LisaLeeSolomon]

I would like to have an item corrected on my grandfather's record which I read on here. His birthplace is incorrect. Please let me know if I need to submit an official document to verify. Thanks Lisa

Hi Lisa, I think he may have been born in Colon, Panama. Can you confirm if that's correct? If you have other biographical information, please let us know,

Yes, that's what his immigration form states, and was born 28 Dec 1901. The information I saw on this site, said he was born in Massachusetts. His family roots are in Lebanon and I was always told that's where he and his brothers and sister were born. Some of the family immigrated to Colombia where he met my grandmother. They eventually went to Panama for work. Not sure where he started his boxing career, albeit, short and not very successful. I was told he had a small part in a movie, and that was actually what I was searching for. Through my search I came upon this site. Lisa

Thanks for the info, I have updated his profile. Do you happen to know when he died, as I assume he is no longer with us?

Your assumption is right. He may have died in the 40's. Sorry, I don't have that information.
