One of my cousins is the family genealogist, and I just found out from him that my great-great grandmother’s name was Elizabeth Lamon – or, as I like to think, Liz Lemon! (She was from Belfast and married John H. Stone of Liverpool, England. So I’m probably related to the Beatles, too. John was a cabinetmaker. After his death, Liz became a confectioner. That’s where I get the sweet tooth!)
Liz Lamon lived at 945 Carpenter St. in the 1870 census (the Google map address is wrong):
Oh, that’s funny. One notes a certain family resemblance.
What dies Tina Fay have to do with this?
Tina Fey plays a character named Liz Lemon on 30 Rock.
