Penny, Thank you. Years ago, my cousin gave me a little info on a ship with some of the Kruse family. It was called "Virginia" from Bremen to NY. But I haven't seen it on the web yet. Don't even know if this family is mine. How would you go about getting the information to transcribe, and when that was done, how would you get it back to the GenWeb? I'm not too literate on the web, yet :o). I could possibly take a portion and try my hand at it. Is there a time limit on the transcribing? And do you have to have special software, etc.? Let me know. I live in Florida, and would that be a problem? I appreciate all the responses that I have received from my cry of help. They have been well received. Thank you all. Theresa
