Hello, My second genealogy book has gone to the publisher! The Lauer, Borgmeier, Bauer Families and the MacCubbins traces these families from Germany to Baltimore, Maryland during the years 1650 to present. This book traces the ancestry of William Edward Lauer back to his 5th great grandfather, Nicolaus Lauer, born about 1665 in Stürzenhard, Germany. Nicolaus was great grandfather of Simon Lauer, who immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1852. The Borgmeier, Bauer, and Würz families are also documented back to their German homeland. The MacCubbin family is followed from the immigrant, John MacCubbin, through his son, William, to Mary Susanna MacCubbin Lauer. For more information, please contact me directly at nanlauer@comcast.net. Thanks, Nancy Waters Lauer

We have obviously just been hit by a spammer from the message board, and the situation will be dealt with accordingly. Please DO NOT FORWARD IT TO THE LIST again as has been done in the past, as it will only make you guilty of the same thing the spammer is. If you have any questions about it, feel free to contact me OFF list at the address below. For your information, RootsWeb is in the process of switching to a completely new e-mail system and I am one of the BETA testers for it. It is coming very soon, but one of the features is that it gives me a tool to stop this type of post from ever reaching the list from the board in the first place so this one may be the last one we see. I am not at liberty to say much more about it until it is officially announced, but it is coming soon. David E.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SFB.2ACI/4753 Message Board Post: MAKE THOUSANDS in TWO WEEKS!!!!! THIS IS NOT A JOKE.......IT REALLY WORKS.......I SWEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matthew Jenneson, Cleveland, Oh -"within 2 hours I had $400" Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ? Do you have a PayPal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT'S TOTALLY FREE !!! ) You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month's time with more money coming in every month thereafter ! $ 50,000 in PayPal ? That's Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!! You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal. $ 10 that's all it takes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your PayPal account or even more. Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Intregrity make this system work. I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE ! If you're not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up. Sign up for PayPal here www.paypal.com It's real easy to set up and it's FREE !!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down. Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: "Please add me to your list". This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: "Thank you. I've joined". Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th. DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST ! If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top. REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST", and send an e-mail with the words "THANK YOU - I'VE JOINED" and the other $ 5.00 dollars to the 5th person. This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list: 1.) articattic@mailc.net 2.) KatieCCR@yahoo.com 3.) Make1k@yahoo.com 4.) best2c@msn.com 5.) mallamby13@yahoo.com ( Make sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment) Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via PayPal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups ( there are thousands ) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 "THANK YOU. I'VE JOINED" replies. The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are. MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5 TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!! Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it's common sense - you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!! You will recieve thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! ) *********************************************************************************************** ******************** *********************************************************************************************** ******************** TESTIMONIALS: Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC: I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD ! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming ! I'm still floating in air ( especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work ! THANKS ! Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO: I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $ 22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account ! HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS AGAIN: Step 1. Set up your PayPal account, if you don't already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON'T FORGET to include "Please add me to your list". This is important as it keeps the program legal. Step 2. Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and and a note stating "Thank you. I've joined" to the 5th name on the list. Step 3. Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts. Step 4. Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 "Thank you, I've joined" replies in your mailbox. That's it, It's that simple ! Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket ia about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account ! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !

Surnames: Tanner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SFB.2ACI/4742.1.1 Message Board Post: Marilyn: Econlockhatchee River: I saw an old map from the 2nd Seminole War spelling it Econlockhaichee. It is pronounced like it is spelled: Econ - lock - hatch - ee. I don't know how the American Natives ponounced it, maybe the "a" was a strong "a". My grandmother told me it meant "deep dark water". However, I found in Florida research books as meaning something about the tall banks. Around Snow Hill (Oviedo, FL), the banks get pretty steep. John Tanner bought property off of Lake Pickett Road. On several census reports, his address is reported as being on Lake Pickett Road. However, his driveway became S. Tanner Road between Lake Pickett Road and Hwy 50. It looks as tough he bought the highest property in that area (high and dry). At this time, the river is shallow, but gets deeper and wider in the Oveido area. Bea Tanner said when she was young, the river was 20 feet deep. Now overflowing is 8-10 feet and the aveage may be around 4-5 feet in this section. I visit anywhere from 8-12 times a year and my kids love to camp there and explore.

I can not find my gg grandmother's family on the 1860 census. Her father was named Johannes Brandau and her mother was Katherine. She had a sister also named Katherine and may have a brother named Harry. My gg grandmother's name was Mary E Brandau born in 1844 in Prussia or Germany. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. If I am not labeling the subject right please let me know. Thanks Kristy

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SFB.2ACI/4748 Message Board Post: I am having a lot of trouble understanding the early maryland Tax Lists (1699 Specifically). What I am trying to understand is "what is the criteria for being on the TAX Lists". I know that if you are married and own land, you would show up - - BUT other than that ???? I have one male individual on that List "evidently" as I was told living in the household of someone else. He has brothers who we know also were living there, yet they do not show up on the Tax List.. SO THE QUESTION IS THIS - At what age are you required to be put on the Tax List if you are single. It was my original understanding that you either had to be a freeman bu becoming 1) 21 or 2) being given your freedon at an earlier age (ie 18), or 3) Married. Can anyone give me a clear picture ? Thanks TJ
