Of course, I never meant for any of this to be a personal disagreement with Gloria at all. I am not interested in that, only history and genealogy. You are so right, we need to keep the personal out of the discussion. I am delighted that you have enjoyed the week and so perhaps it is time to be onto an other discussion. As mentioned, I descend from Andreas and then George, his son, so am not really up on other lines of this family, especially the Lancaster group. I am very familiar as to where they lived, however, as well as some of those in other states.

Both of you have meant well in your researches, but please don't ruin a good relationship and we people that are new at this are enjoying whats going on. This has been one of the best weeks I think this List has had in a long, long time. Both of you are comparing notes and as Judy would say "Thinking Out Of The Box" gives inspiration. Take a break and walk-a-way from this for awhile. Go on to something else, you never know a person out their may have a answer. PLEASE!!!
