No doubt whatsoever that you are kin to the Original 13, including Mrs. Thones Kunders who was Magdalen Theissen, aka Elin, Helen(e) Doors. As you outline I see no problems, other than there is a difference between direct descent and collateral kinship. Have you seen John Brockie Lukens' wonderful treatise on the Original Thirteen, PA Gen Mag. 1980? A must-read for all Original 13 folk. As this is intended to be sent to the main site of Original 13, I would like to offer further help to anyone interested. This is one of the most erudite sites on the net, and is replete with experts on all the lines...(a compliment to you-all!) I have about a hundred pages, in English and German, referring to the first two generations, and more than you'd care to read! Write anytime. Erik P Conard
So you are saying I'm related to many of the Original 13, but not descended from any? No, I haven't seen the must-read. Erudite? First 2 generations of what? More than I'd care to read? Nah, I'm a genealogicaphile (I hope I did that right?). ----- Original Message ----- From: <EConard1@aol.com> To: <ORIGINAL-13-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 5:02 PM Subject: Re: [ORIGINAL-13] New member who is 1/8 PA German/Deutsch/Dutch (all Palatina... > No doubt whatsoever that you are kin to the Original 13, including Mrs. > Thones Kunders who was Magdalen Theissen, aka Elin, Helen(e) Doors.
