Jillian If you have a key/icon/button "reply to all", the emails will go back to the list too, and will include the original email so that it is easier to follow. You can delete some of the original email, but it is nice to leave some/most/important bits.

I am interested in information regarding Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt. Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt and August Schmidt have witnessed a Application for a Homestead document dated 2/3/1883 for my G.G. Grandfather August Frederich Ruhl. It also appears Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt and August Frederich Ruhl had neighbouring properties. I have reason to believe that Wilhelm Frederich Schmidt and August Frederich Ruhl are related and would like to follow up on this theory. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Jillian.
