Hi everyone! The state of Wisconsin has a very large German population. My research interests immigrated there, so I subscribed to the GenWisconsin list in addition to this one. You might consider doing the same as there often are postings which discuss German issues/topics, which aren't forwarded to THIS list. The GenWisconsin list is fairly active (more than some, less than others). If you would like to do this, send an email to: GenWisconsin-L-request@rootsweb.com (You know the routine, put just "subscribe" in the message body) Joanne Parmley
