Hello,      It is good to hear that Part 1 of the Mercydorf family book is ready to be published. I was wondering if a copy of the CD with the later records could be included with the book.  Some of us on the Banat List did contribute towards purchasing the records from the Romanians a few years ago, and we thought that we would eventually be able to see the records.  I have read that at least one Banat village has included a CD with its publication.  I hope that becomes the standard.  I believe that many Americans would gladly send in money to purchase the later records if given the opportunity.  Although these records are available in Germany, it seems only right that the Americans who help support the projects have access to the records too.  Sincerely, Cathy Teufel O'Neill Mercydorf Researcher Village Family Tree
