Dear Wendelin and everyone who participates on this list. This has been the most informative and helpful of groups. I just wanted to share that now if you have access to www.footnote.com you can add comments to the 1860 US Census. The could be helpful to those of us that had families leave Baden prior to 1860. I just added some comments to my Schwendemann, Ochs, and Kraft connections thant settled in Boston. best, Karen
