Annette, Go to the link I supplied http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.germany.baden.general/mb.ashx and click on "Begin a new thread". They will want you to register. Your email address is secure. If you are already registered with RootsWeb or Ancestry, please use the same one (they are the same). Then post your query and add the images. You will find that the message board has a whole different set of queries and participants, but still related to the Baden-Würtenberg region. I personally will not participate on the message board, except for special reasons such as this, because I have had run ins with the administrator as being overly strict. (As a matter of fact, she reprimanded me for mentioning Edna Bentz' book.)
