Hello Listers, my name is NIKOLAUS ARNOLD ORDEMANN (double n as usual in Germany), born 1938 in Bremen,Germany. I know that Ordemanns from two different family branches emigrated to the USA; some have been living (or are still alive) in Maryland and in other states, descendants from another branch settled in Texas (after they have emigrated from Germany to the Netherlands). Far relatives of mine are running genealogical homepages of their families in the US, and there is done some Ordeman(n) research there. This year I set up a genealogical homepage for my own which I like to become the round-the-world Ordeman(n) Homepage. It is written in German, my native language. Most of the today's Ordemanns are living in Germany or in countries where my language is spoken, and my knowledge of English is not so good as it might seem to be in sight of this mail (I haven't got enough dictionaries to translate all biographical information in my homepage into your language). I would appreciate to get further information about my family to complete my database (based on PAF) and my homepage. Where can I find FAQs - if any - of this list? Curious for new and interesting stuff Nikolaus Ordemann i-n-ordemann@easy-call.net www.genealogienetz.de/privat/ordemann
