If you have a connection to any glass and/or crystal making families, I have just begun a new board at rootsweb. It is listed under topics, (you will need to press the link that says show all topics). Then select occupations and you will see Glass and Crystal Makers. I decided to do this as a board instead of an email list because this list keeps me pretty busy...but I love you! Feel free to post surnames and look for connections with other glass and crystal making families all over the world. St. Louis had several glass and crystal making operations through the ages. I am distantly related to one of them. More closely related to glass and crystal makers from the Alsace, Lorraine, and Moselle areas of France/Germany. Feel free to tell others who might be interested. By the way, there are a lot of really neat topics under topics that don't show unless you press the show all topics link http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=admin.board&r=rw&p=topics For those needing help with Adoptions there is a link for that and one for Genealogy software and crime and all kinds of other things.
