Janice, I own Va Faust Batdorf's book also. My grandmother was a Bottorff..pronounced Putoff in southern IN. Probably a desc of Martin Pottorff and Eliz Coons. I'm on vacation and don't have my stuff here. Will have to look at your link when I get home Cindy in a message dated 7/8/2008 8:59:15 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hi, Cindy :-) Thank you for contacting me. My direct line is actually BATDORF. However, BOTTORFF and other spellings are connected to us. Most of my BATDORF-BOTTORFF info originally came from Virginia Faust Batdorf's book, The Batdorf Family History (©1990 by Charles R. Batdorf). I am trying to verify as much as possible as I have time. Unfortunately, my genealogy research has suffered greatly the past couple of years because of moving almost two years ago . . . . . another move is planned for the end of this year . . . . . with church activities, health problems, etc. thrown in for good measure. I have the beginnings of a BATDORF Descendant Outline posted on our CUZNS FAMILY TREE site. _http://cuznsfamilytree.bravehost.com/descendants/b/batdorfdescend_janice.html _ (http://cuznsfamilytree.bravehost.com/descendants/b/batdorfdescend_janice.html) Please let me know if you need more than what is posted on our site and I'll try to send it as soon as physically possible. Like my genealogy research, website work has suffered greatly the past couple of years. How are you connected to BOTTORFF? :-) HAPPY HUNTING :-) Janice ANCESTOR WORLD _http://ancestorworld.bravehost.com/ _ (http://ancestorworld.bravehost.com/) CODE AMBER _http://codeamber.org/ _ (http://codeamber.org/) _http://codeamber.net/ _ (http://codeamber.net/) **************Gas prices getting you down?
