Jacob Ruppert,Jr. owned the New York Yankess('15-39). He was born on
Aug.5,1867 in NYC & died in NYC on Jan.13,1939. I need his middle
name.  I can pay $3.00. He was a beer baron and former Congressman.

I am unable to locate any reference to him having a middle name. Even
the listings I was able to find for his birth certificate don’t have a
middle name on them

I have looked into this one extensively but since I have already
answered one question, confirming that the subject didn't have a
middle name, I thought I would let someone else have a crack at this.
I have however, looked through his political and military career and I
believe that this guy was only given the honourary middle name of
"colonel".

Hi Sparky4ca,                                                         
         I accept your findings. They concur with my own. I've
searched for a long,long time for the middle names and dates of birth
that I'm seeking. I thought I'd give someone else a shot. I would like
to see his birth certificate, though.  New York state won't let anyone
but a relative or one with a proven vested interest see it.

Sparky4,  I have accepted your findings as conclusive. You can close
Ruppert. I'd like to tip you $3.00 for your efforts on my behalf.
Advise me how.
