Good Evening Everyone, My apologies for just sort of disappearing. Have had some family concerns that kept me from getting much done. While I won't bore you with all of the specifics I will give you a hint concerning just one of them. If your daughter walks in the door with a small puppy that she found on the freeway who is covered with sores be very, very concerned. You have no idea how much impact that little tiny puppy and what it is carrying is going to have on your life. If anyone wants the full story then e-mail me privately. I will be HAPPY TO EXPOUND on the topic. However...... I received the following message on another mail list. I requested permission to cross post it to all the lists I admin. First of all, this is a very nice site in its own right. But I think you will find the article very interesting as well. Hope you enjoy it. Take care - Emma ....................................... Hello Everyone: We receive hundreds of messages each month for information on early American Emigrants and a few years ago we found a very good article on the subject and thought we would share it with you. Titled.......Founders of Early American Families...Emigrants From Europe 1607-1657. This is something all genealogists and researchers should read to have a better understanding of what was happening here prior to 1657. We have posted the article on our web site at: http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ Once you get there you will be looking for the link Family Pages Index which you will enter. On the Family Pages Index enter FOUNDERS OF EARLY AMERICAN FAMILIES. Everyone has FREE access to all our web site and the reports contained there. Enjoy Harold Oliver America's First Families

Evening Everyone, This is a really nice site that you might like to try. It takes about 10 minutes or so but is very interesting. It is an animated atlas of the growth of the US. Make sure you turn on your speakers to hear the commentary as well. Hope you enjoy it. Take care - Emma <A HREF="http://www.animatedatlas.com/movie.html">Animated Atlas: Growth of a Nation</A> or http://www.animatedatlas.com/movie.html

Morning Everyone, I thought some of you might like to give this site a try. It is called Interment.net Cemetery Inscription Library and they say they have over 3 million burial records in almost 7,000 different cemeteries. The address is: www.interment.net Hope some of you find something helpful - take care - Emma By the way... am trying a new way to send this to all the lists I admin. If it goofs up and causes a mess please accept my apologies in advance.... <g>.

HI Everyone, Just a reminder about the archives for each RootsWeb mail list. Messages sent to the various mail list are archived. You can view those archives by going to this site and typing in the name of the list you want to see. <A HREF="http://archiver.rootsweb.com/">RW - Mail List Archives</A> or http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ So if you want to see the previous messages to the list you might want to give this a try. Take care and have a great week - Emma

HI Everyone, You might want to take a look at this site. Pick a state and see what you find as it varies from one state to another. <A HREF="http://www.censusfinder.com/index.htm">Census Finder - Links to all the FREE census online</A> or http://www.censusfinder.com/index.htm You will also hit some pay sites but much of the info is available on free sites. Hope you enjoy playing around with it - take care - Emma

Hi Everyone, Found a fun site for all of you to try. <A HREF="http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html">Search Names Files From 1990 Census</A> or http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html This rates surnames in order of frequency in the 1990 census. The Mundt surname is #11,662 on the list. As you can imagine, Smith is #1 and..... are you ready for this... the last name on the list at #88,799 is Aalderink. Hope you enjoy the list. Emma

Good Evening Everyone, This is an FYI only. Please do NOT discuss this message on the list. Please send any comments you might have to me at the address posted on the bottom of each message to this list. We are about to enter a challenging political time when emotions and opinions will vary in many directions. Political discussions can be painful and divisive in the best of times. Times of stress only increase that concern. In the past, similar political situations have been known to cause significant disturbances on some mail lists. Therefore, RootsWeb staff have asked us to remind everyone that RootsWeb is for genealogical research and not for political discussions. List admins have been directed by RootsWeb to deal with any concerns kindly but quickly and firmly - and that is what I will attempt to do. Therefore, please refrain from any political discussion in either messages and/or signature lines. Let's keep the mail lists a haven for all of us to come to and enjoy our genealogical exchanges. Again, I ask that you not discuss this message or any inappropriate message on the list but contact me privately with any questions or concerns. Thank you so much - Emma

He had two siblings that I know of: Martha Minnie and Orlean. I have very little info on the siblings or the parents. We think Wilhelm's parents were from Germany? and that their names were Wilhelm Heinrich Mundt and Chatarine Stein?? Those are guesses based off of conversations with surviving members. If anyone connects into this line I would greatly like to hear from you.

You are the first Mundt I have heard of (and I have been digging for 2 years) that lived in Buffalo. I know Wilhelm's father was from Germany because he carried a German Bible around. But I have no other info other then we think Wilhelm's father was also called Wilhelm and that he married (we think) someone by the name of Chatarine Stein? If you would like to chat please feel free to email me offline. I'll be happy to share.

Hi Everyone, You might enjoy giving this site a try. Organized by state, but you can also search by surname.

RootsWeb will be performing scheduled maintenance Wednesday 12, March 2003 between 1 - 4 am MST on the following servers: free pages, www, news, archives, cgi, and list searches. Actual off-line time for a server could be about one day. It does not appear that the mail lists themselves will be impacted in terms of sending and receiving messages but your messages won't show up in the archives for a bit. Take care all - Emma

Good Morning Everyone, Just a bit of information for all of you. First of all - we now have 12 subscribers to the regular mail list and 6 subscribers to the digest version. More importantly right now...... Please be aware that there appears to be a problem with MSN users and the rootsweb mail lists. MSN users are bouncing because of a hangup at MSN. You won't bounce off of the slower lists as soon as you will the busier ones. You might want to go to password central and ask for a list of mail lists that you are subscribed to just to make sure you are still on this lists you want. To do that go to this URL: <A HREF="http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/">RW - Password Central</A> http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com And finally, you will probably want to work with MSN in an attempt to get the problem solved. I hope all of you have a wonderful day. Take care - Emma
