>From Alija came a copy of an earlier Bav-Anc post, which I thought very appropriate the current "permission to emigrate" discussion, and as it fit my ongoing document translation project, I put it on that website, at http://members.tripod.com/ronkz/EmigrationProcedure.htm Much of the translation work I had requested is now completed; that includes http://members.tripod.com/ronkz/1846migrationZfamily.htm showing the legal paperwork certainly filed by so many emigrants at that time (1846), and ties right in with the "permission to emigrate" subject. Now, as to my document translations project, a couple of pages remain unassigned, and I hope for some volunteers for those ??????? They are: 6 images in one document at http://members.tripod.com/ronkz/10feb1846jmz.htm and 2 of 4 independent images at http://members.tripod.com/ronkz/FourOthers.htm If anyone would tackle any of those, it would be of great help indeed. The work already completed (most) or "assigned" (pending) can be found under: http://members.tripod.com/ronkz/assigned.htm There you will see some outstanding work and some interesting results - including some new discoveries probably of most interest to those connected to my Zellhoefer tree, but there is much to learn there for anyone. Much is in both German and English, and the Intelligenz Blatt (from which the "funny" was found last week) has been transcribed in German, posted in downloadable *.DOC format. My deepest gratitude goes to all who produced such outstanding work and gave so much of their valuable time to my little project. Without Bav-Anc it's doubtful we'd have ever learned so much - 'tis a super group indeed! enjoy "RonKZ" Ron Klotz-Zellhoefer Wisconsin>Arizona [email protected] http://ronkz.tripod.com (just for this project) http://www.zelltree.com
