This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Handspiker, Hanselpacker, Stark, VanTassel, Marshall and others Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SOC.2ACE/935 Message Board Post: Okay, some of you MIGHT recognize my name, from years gone by. Well, I'm "back in the business" now, of researching, updating, uploading and sharing my Handspiker/Hanselpacker database. I'm currently working on a "split" version of my genealogy database, to include any and ALL Handspikers/Hanselpackers from around the world. What I'd like from those of you reading this message, is any and all references to those bearing these names, whether from years gone by, or, "new arrivals." I've used much of the information Charlotte Vardy gave to me, a few years back, so I have a good starting point. What I need to do is expand, broaden, grow this wonderful "tree." Can you help out, by offering some water, sun, or bountiful soil, so that it will grow tall and wide? ANY help is appreciated. Please e-mail me with any Handspiker connections you may have. New, old, or, somewhere in between. I'm also MORE than willing to share the information I already have, though most of that is already online, not ALL of it is. Glad to be back doing what I love.
