I would like to thank everyone, especially Judy, for the encouragement and assistance yesterday with that puzzling aspect of my family tree. As an extra bonus, I now find myself a member of the Modler and Miller families. Who knew! So, how many more cousins did I just gain? It is really amazing, how from a small group of persecuted refugees, our families have intermingled and spread all across the world. The first time I emailed a distant cousin, I felt a sense of wonder, and that sense is not the least diminished. I keep most of the emails I receive from this group, as the odds are fairly decent that in some convoluted way, one of my ancestors is related to those in the email. Happy hunting, Paul Dicks p.s. I'm having a little difficulty figuring how Mary Miller connects to the original Miller/Muller from the Palatine. _________________________________________________________________ Powerful Parental Controls Let your child discover the best the Internet has to offer. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*.
