Hi list, I have a book on the genealogy of the inhabitants of the Bischmisheim area of Germany (around Saarbrucken) before 1900. This is a huge book with tons of surnames. One name that had over a 100 descendants listed is SCHMEER, but there are hundreds others. This info is all from primary sources so is very reliable. Especially if you have a very "different" last name - have me give a look as there is everything from 3 letter surnames to some over 10 letters. Ha! So, if you have ancestors from Germany, I would be happy to do lookups for you. Probably best if you contact me off list so we don't tie the list up. :) Marcy Ugstad firelook2@aol.com
