Michelle. Here is an approximate translation: I would like additional information about these Stamms from the Bern Church Cemetery list. I am seeking the parents of Jois Melchior Stamm, born circa 1700, and Johann Michael Stamm, born after 1700 in Odenwald on the Kraichgau. A Christian Stamm is also married to a Brogle from Aargau. Many thanks in advance. With friendly greetings. Irmgard Wellman-Stamm. -----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >Sent: Dec 14, 2010 11:27 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: PABERKS Digest, Vol 5, Issue 309 > > > > ==== PABERKS Mailing List ==== > >When replying to a digest message, quote only the specific message to which you are replying, removing the rest of the digest from your reply.
