Sorry for the delay. I kept having problems with my DSL and had to switch to a cable modem. I found out that the tree listed on www.myfamily.com wouldn't let anyone search it with out getting a special invitation from me through them, so I moved everything over to www.ancestry.com and you should be able to use Bott for the surname search and get access to the tree. If you have any additional info, let me know. Also, you should check with Deb Jennings (Debbjennings@aol.com), she has a Bott from Germany, too. (Rheinhart BOTT b. about 1729 in Sonnenberg Germany married Mary Elizabeth BLECKROTH about 1750 in York county PA. Mary was born about 1730 in York county PA and she died about June of 1805.)
