Talk:Albert Ballin

typo
The name's "Ballin", not "Ballen"...

There seems to be some minor redundancy in this article, Albert kills himself twice in the last couple of paragraphs. I have marked it to come back and edit when I have a half hour or so, least I can do for a historic namesake wee paddy 20:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

connection to Bell?
In a footnote on page 27 of the HarperPerennial edition of Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks, Ballin asserts that Alexander Graham Bell knew American Sign Language, which would be odd since he is known as a prominent advocate of oral instruction. Can the relationship of Ballin to Bell be otherwise sourced? Arlo James Barnes 19:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Birthplace
Albert Ballin's father was from what is now Denmark but had moved to Altona which while now part of Hamburg was then part of Gluckstadt then part of the Kingdom of Denmark. I have been told Albert Ballin by a former Hamburg Amerika was born in Altona in 1857 and Gluckstadt was acquired Prussia in 1864.RichardBond (talk) 03:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
