Hi all, Got this from Sheila Lawrence earlier in another e-mail. With regards to blowing the part of the Palatine Movement out of the waters, don't think that can be said when it has been well documented. Have to remember that the area of Talsen is just that, another area that someone came from. John George Kornegay probably took his family to England before the movements started in 1710 or so and those movements to the Americas then happened. Also would have to do a good study of the timelines & changing country & areas lines to get a real picture of what was happening in late 1600s & early 1700s. Following is the note from Sheila: > Hi All, Great news.....I recieved an email from Eddie (davises@airmail.net) and she and her sister have found the town of Talsi (Talsen in German) and it is located in Latvia. Latvia is a small country east of Russia on the Baltic Sea. There is a strong German population in the country. For info on Latvia, go to the Web and enter "Latvia" and it will give you a link to the people, history and geography of the country. I have a feeling that we may have found the location of our ancestors, but it blows the "German Palatinate" theory out of the water unless the region in 1710 was part of the Upper Palatinate. Please let me know ya'll thoughts on this news. And again thanks to Eddie and her sister for doing the research. Sheila
