Judy, There is no Natendorf in the area served by the Baden-Wurttemberg mail list. The only one appears to be a small village about 300 miles N of Stuttgart in the district of Ülzen, in Lower Saxony (source: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natendorf>Wikipedia). You would be better served if you posted your query on the mail list that serves that region. BTW, it is advisable to supply more than the surname in your query. The query should include full names and dates of those events that occurred in old Germany. Others will help you search for your family and, if you are extremely lucky, you may find someone researching your family.
