All the home I ever had

all (adjective)

8 : being more than one person or thing <who all is coming>
- all the
: as much of...as : as much of a...as <all the home I ever had>
[M-W's Col. Dic.]

"all" confirms that the inquirer knows that there are many people coming but he simply wants to know 'who'. Correct?

Do the two mean the same?
All the home I ever had is gone now after my divorce.
As much of a home as I had is gone...

Do the two mean the same?-- Well, yes, but the first is digital (one home vs no home) while the second is analogue (as close to the concept of 'home'...) to my mind.
