Dear Marilyn, Thanks so much for the mail and suggestion. When I first searched All of Missouri, I was unaware of all of my Anc.'s names. Wichita has a great genealogy library, and I think I will give it another try. My anc's were from Switzerland, and suspected anti-baptist, and exiled in 1710 to America. Name org. was Kauffman or Kaufmann. I know there are Hoffman lines from Germany, but will check it also because no one could spell back then, clerk wise. regards Carl ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
