I am totally getting goosebumps, following the ILSTANNE-L exchanges last week and today! IOWA, another pocket of St. Anne people! Then the added information about some of our long-sought surnames - clarifications - bursts of entirely new data! It's wonderful, and a great example of the good things that happen when friendly people put their heads together in matters of mutual interest. I like the phrase: CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND. And I just read in the Ancestry-com newsletter: LUCK IS THE MOMENT WHEN PREPARATION AND OPPORTUNITY MEET. The ILSTANNE-L is living proof of these companion adages.
