Carolyn Sue, Am in a similar position as you, with my German ancestors. I have some dates & places, but several blank spots... If you get any ideas or helpful hints off-list concerning how, what steps to take, where to look etc would you mind either sending me a copy or putting the whole thing on the list? I would *really* appreciate it. TIA, Anna T-town ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
