Ok, I re-ran the find with sudo, and still get one error message -

ray at ray-desktop:~$ sudo find . ! -user ray -ls > ownership.txt
[sudo] password for ray:
find: ./.gvfs: Permission denied

I've uploaded the new ownership.txt file to

http://www.rayslinks.com/ownership.txt

I'm sure that many of the folders shown as not owned by me are the ones 
I cut and pasted in, but do not remember exactly where I cut them from.

If I ever get over this sore throat and constant coughing I will be 
getting on this a bit more closely. For now I have very little energy 
and a headache to boot.

I'm wondering if there is a command to get output of a date sorted list 
of the folders in my user folder. If their dates changed when I cut and 
pasted them, at least I could tell which ones did not belong.

Later, Ray Parrish
