Hello John, Best wishes on your trip to Germany. I have often read your information on the internet but have not subscribed to the site, mainly because not much has shown up on what I have been told is our first John Spade, who came to America during the Revolutionary War. It has been researched by many family members and to no avail. Some day, I, too would like to visit Germany but since I don't speak the language and am not at all familiar with the country, I doubt it will ever happen for me. I look forward to reading about your trip when you return home. Jean Spade Meurer

Hi Jean, your: Some day, I, too would like to visit Germany but since I don't speak the language and am not at all familiar with the country, I doubt it will ever happen for me. I too wish John a happy and Pleasent trip and look forward tol reading his account when he gets back, but I write to you to say don't let not speaking the language stop you. When I was stationed in Germany 1983- 1987, I did not know the country or speak the language either. I found the German peoples kind and helpful as long as I tried to communicate in thier language. I had a little transulation book.... Yes I was in the service but... I spent every free hour away from the military post as I could. I got a map, and asked questions, and drove and used the trains... It was wonderful... I love castles and spent my time seeing all I could, to bad I was not into genealogy then... If you get the chance go... just reemember your a guest in other people's country and you'll do just fine!! I'll go back to see my families home town now I know where it is.... the first chance I get... LOL and I still don't speak the language... Nelda List manager Nelda L.
