Dave: This genealogy business does keep you busy, huh ? I was lucky, when I started out five years ago, The Aldrich line has been researched for years by the Aldrich Assoc., and I was able to tap myself into other peoples research. My Granny Aldrich (Tackett) wanted nothing better than to be accepted as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, so she did piles of research on her Tackett and Durkee lines going back to the 17oos, to find someone in there that actually fought in the Revolution. (We up here call it the Rebellion). It easy that way. Now, its different on my wife, Sonja's side. We have her back to her GGranfather Josef Eble, who was a Kaufsmann in Freiburg im Breisgau. While we haven't got her back farther than that, we did have a great time visiting Freiburg and looking through records. It is one beautiful city. Managed to find something to research two years running. Happy Anniversery. Sonja and I were 40 years last April.Don't know how she has been able to put up with me all these years. Must be my good luck, huh (eh) ? Ralf At 08:41 AM 7/5/01 -0400, you wrote: >OK: Been awhile since we've swapped words. If things are as busy around >your place as here, I understand why.
