Some time ago, I requested that anyone posting about the Germanna Tree at Ancestry post both to the Germanna_Colonies Mailing List and the Germans-VA Mailing List. So far, about 99.99% of the posts to the Germanna_Colonies List haven't also included the Germans-VA List as a recipient. Just be aware the Germans-VA List is as legitimate a List as the Germanna_ Colonies List for us German descendants. (Notice I didn't say "Germanna descendants"?) In fact, I think the Germans in Culpeper/Madison Co. and the Germans in the Shenandoah Vally, and the Germans from PA and MD who came down the "Great Wagon Road", are so intertwined that when we speak of Germans in East TN, we shouldn't limit it to "Germanna Descendants". We should, instead, speak of "German" descendants there. I think that next year the East Tennessee Reunion will be called the "East Tennessee Settlers Reunion". That will include all the Germans from "Germanna" and from the Shenandoah Valley, and all the non-German families that married into German families in East Tennessee.
