Dear Father Chuck, Some of us Krauts may be too stubborn to forgive you. I was just in Louisville, KY, at St. Brigid Church (I live near LA) getting help from the priest there, who was a kinder, gentler Kraut, and who helped me a great deal. Now, if anyone has knowledge of one Jacob Schiedt (pronounced Sheet) b. about 1820 in Bavaria, I would love to know about it. I recognize that it is an impossible search, but I am too stubborn to give it up. Tom
