Dear "Cousins", I'm sorry for being so quiet recently - I just had many other obligations keeping me busy: due to this I haven't made any progress on my Allmacher research myself - but some of you have sent me data to "feed" my computer; thank you very much! We also had a few new subscribers - so despite some leaving the list (or at least their addresses becoming invalid) there are now ten of us. Sharon Lantz and I have been in touch via "snail mail" for a while - now she also has e-mail, and has briefly introduced herself to the list already. Would some of you like to follow her example? My connection to Allmacher is through my wife, Mareile, whom you'll find on http://www.genealogy.net/privat/seelentag/seel1947.htm The connection is through her grandfather Hermann Schmidts (1881-1949) who is mentioned on the above page. From there on it's Friedrich Schmidts (1850-1913) married to Julia Mueller (born 1858) Mueller Robert (born 1820) married to Juliana Sackermann (born 1829) Engelbert Sackermann (1804-1891) married to Carolina Mueller (1804-1895) Johann Friedrich Mueller (born 1775) married to Philippina Elisabetha Allmacher (born 1778) Johann Friedrich Allmacher (1736-1788) married to his cousin Juliana Elisabetha Allmacher (born 1737) and we will have to go a few generations further back to find the actual link to most of you ;-). Two addresses bouncing recently are [email protected] (Denton Garner) [email protected] (can't connect a name to this) Does any of this ring a bell? If yes - would you have updated addresses, or know the name behind "rsatorre"? Any help is appreciated. Would be nice if the list could become a bit more active, to actually share family information as well as what some of us are doing (or being stuck with) regards Almacher genealogy of their own branch. Best regards for now - Wolf __________________ Wolf Seelentag, Ph.D. Reherstr. 19 CH - 9016 St.Gallen +41 (0) 71 - 288 51 21 [email protected]
