I have not received a reply. In my e-mail I said," Hi Rick, My name is Dorothy J. Schendel. My great grandmother on my mother's side was Eliza Jane Block. Eliza was the sister of Lettie Viola (Block) Ellis. My line is: Dorothy J. (Reinhardt) Schendel > Dorothy E. (Hall) Reinhardt > Irene A. (Buddemeier) Hall > Eliza (Block) Buddemeier > Martin Block. Welcome on board. I would love to exchange information. I have done about 4 years of work on my Ellis connection; ancestors and decendants. Start with yourself and go back to where your line and Charles' line meet so that I understand which branch you are from. Sincerely, Dorothy J. Schendel"
