Hello, [I am posting this message to this list because I am aware that there are a lot of people from Bavaria with the surname MULLER.] I have created a free, interactive website to help my fellow Bavarian researchers locate others who are researching Bavarian surnames in common and hopefully make connections with distant family members. It mainly consists of an index of surnames with automatic email links to contact the various participating researchers. Currently the website has 224 submitters with over 1,300 surnames (there are 8 researchers who have submitted the surname MULLER so far). All of these people have indicated a willingness to be contacted via email to discuss their Bavarian genealogical interests. Additionally, there is a page of links to explain naming practices, the Bavaria FAQ's and a link to another site which contains many queries of those researching Bavarian surnames (including MULLER). If you have ancestors from Bavaria (and Bavaria ONLY, please) you might like to browse the index for your own surnames and/or submit your surnames to be included in the index. Again, this is free, open to any and all who have research interests in Bavaria only. The only requirement is that the surname belong to a person who once lived in Bavaria. I. E., Jewish surnames from Russia ARE allowed as well as surnames of people from the Pfalz, which once was part of Bavaria. Please also feel free to pass on the URL to any other lists you may be a member of who have other members with Bavarian ancestors. http://bavariansurnames.homestead.com/index.html <A HREF="http://bavariansurnames.homestead.com/index.html">Bavarian Surnames Index</A> Thank you for your time and attention. Happy ancestor hunting! Joanne Parmley
