Dear Joe, Thank you very much for your E-mail. I have been trying to connect with your web site, but I can't seem to get connected to any URL with a www.geocities.com DSN! Can't figure it out. Any ideas? My great great grandfather was also John Altherr? He had two wives: (Maria) Eve Weber (my great great grandmother0 born 1820 and Francis Sinz b. abt 1830. Do these fit your family tree? Hope to get connected to geocities soon. Even Franklin County has a geocities.com DNS!!!! Thanks again, Judy
