    3. The Genferret mistyped: "turns up not one instance of the name Heserman or Eserman" The Genferret is drifting gently into dotage. The search was done correctly for Heseram and eseram. The Genferret, overcome with chagrin, will now hide under a blanket. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

    3. Oh, you sweet little weasel! I just noticed that I mistyped, also! In thinking about the name "Esther Ann," too much, I mistyped my entire message. It should have been: "Since I just finished pleading my case with some new cousins, what about the name "Heseram?" Some of us have Bible pages, written by the mother of the eight children (Not WEBB family). Two people have (Heseram) as a male, but it is very clear to me that the name is very clearly (Hesterann), a sort of old- fashioned verbal version of (Esther Ann). I left the "H" out, and I think that is the BIG clue. It has to do with how people pronounced the names of their own kids back when they were not sure how to spell them. This mother, however, had beautiful handwriting, actual English Script, because her small "E" was always a capital cursive "E" and unless one enlarges the page, it can be mistaken for another letter. I love your slant on things, Genferret! Your humour (Old English spelling!) is good for the soul!
