Dear Joan, You caught me! :-) Most of my PADUTCH stuff is either ' my ' family specific, or Mennonite specific and I guess that in this case neither would apply. I really must say that the response from this list was overwhelming and I am very grateful. So far I have received 17 different versions of the Weigel name. Thank you, especially, for steering me to your web page... I found it an interesting and informative place to visit... you have done a very nice job.
