Nelson, Thank you! I was able to trace the messages. Maybe I'll be able to find more data on my somewhat elusive STUTZMAN family.

Scroll down this message to "Message Board URL" and click on the highlighted URL. This will take you to the message board posting that was forwarded to the PAMifflin ListServ. On that message board click on the highlighted link next to "author" to learn the E-mail address of the author. It will be given next to the author's name in large, grey font to prevent address harvesting. Or, you can click on the "Previous" link at top right of a message board posting to read the preceding message posted on the message board. There again you can learn the name of the preceding author. Click on the highlighted link next to that author's name to get to the page where you can learn the E-mail address for the preceding author. Nelson R. Sulouff
