Hi, Does someone know if the given name "Stuphell" (which I found spelled that way in a survey) is the German given name for "Christopher" or are the two names separate from each other? Thanks for any help, Chocy If you refer to a Germanna descendant, include a link to your on-line data. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
