Good morning from a new subscriber - once again I am amazed at the resources on the net. I guess like all of you I am researching the family tree. I like to be able to do it from my PC where possible, sop I was well pleased when I found http://www.biblio.tu-bs.de/cgi-bin/acwww25u/wbi_neu_en/regsrch.pl It is a database of biographical entries from many and varied sources. If you find a person you are interested in, you can get a list of all the books in which they are mentioned. Even though this database is in Germany, it contains information of people from many countries. I have found many of my extended family, and I plan to waddle off to the Latrobe Library with my list of books to consult. Then I found this - Name: Kumm, Hermann Karl Wilhelm Dates: 1874- mentioned: ca. 1935 Occupations: Generalsekretär der Sudan United Mission Groups: Statespersons, Politicians Archive: Deutsches Biographisches Archiv Fiche: II 772,354 Title of Source: Wer ist's 1935 [= Short title] Degeners Wer ist's?. - X. Ausgabe. - Berlin. - 1935 My family includes CATO. Not the Roman one, just those from Bedfordshire. They were very early settlers into Hobart and Adelaide. One of them, Frances Gertrude CATO married Hermann in 1912. I have worked out the above book is a who's who of Germany in 1935, but I cannot read German. Does anyone out there have this book? and can you please interpret the info into English please? Shirley Elrick in Melbourne, Australia.
