Does anyone know what exactly the "Karl Wagenplast Notes" are (I think they contain genealogical info. about 18th-century Schwaigern emigrants), how large the collection is, and if they can be obtained from a library or historical organization in the U.S.? The original resides in the Schwaigern Archives in Germany. Jill

Craig, DURMAN, not DORMAN! And, it wasn't a "panic", I was just curious why there hadn't been any posts for so many days.

Hi Craig, Well, it just seems to be a coincident that there haven't been any posts to either of the Lists for 7 days. (I don't believe in coincidences, BTW.) But, maybe the planets were in a peculiar alignment and no one posted on either of the Lists for those 7 days? Just seems odd, Sarge At 10/21/2011 11:24 PM Friday, Craig Kilby wrote: *********START OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT********* >Chocy. It never went dark.

Well, George, I haven't received, seen or posted anything to either of the Lists in the last 6 days, so it's not just the Germanna Colonies List that has been silent, but the German-VA is just as silent.

I think there ought to be some sort of community recognition for people working with original records. It's hard work, and needs to be recognized and appreciated if we hope to recruit people to do it.

George and Fellow Listers, I have received "no" post for Germanna or Germans VA; thinking I had been unsubscribed, I subscribed "again" to both lists last night and up until right "now" have not got the usually feed back from the lists stating I have been subscribed.
