Good Afternoon Everyone, Well... here we are... one week before Christmas. So I imagine this will be the last list update for the year 2003. First of all, some updated information about the list. As of today, the Mundt list has 14 subscribers to the regular version and 5 subscribers to the digest version. I am sure that all of you are busy getting ready for Christmas but.... you might enjoy giving this site a try when you have time. It is a Surname Thesaurus and will create a list of additional spellings for various surnames. Just type in your surname of interest and then look at all the other suggested spellings. Some are quite creative. http://www.imagepartners.co.uk/Thesaurus/Search.aspx And.. as a year end comment. As we each work on our various lines, we sometimes get caught up in finding names, dates, and locations. Maybe here at Christmas time we might want to pause and remember that those names and dates were real people. All of whom impacted our lives in some way. That makes each and every one of them special to us and our children. AND.... finally..... I would like to wish each of you the best of the season and hope that you and your families are able to share lots of wonderful laughter, hugs, and memories with each other. Merry Christmas, Emma Cronin List Admin "When I set out to find my ancestors I met many people of all ages and from many walks of life, engaged on a similar quest. Although my search was in the past, I found fellowship and friendship in the present; may you be as fortunate. George Pelling - British Genealogist
