Sorry to reply off topic. The reason why most people get spam is because they post their e-mail address at various web sites, including genealogy web pages. Computers pick them up and use them. When writing out your e-mail address use the word "at" instead of "@", or the word "dot" for the dot. People will know your e-mail address (unless their my bone head relatives) and computers can't pick it up. Mike

Pat, I get over 300 spam a day and many of them are attachments. I now use Norton to get rid of them. Its a relief. I cant wait for an anti-spam bill.

I am looking for information on Christian Nauman (1704 - 1773) who lived in Hecktown, Northampton Co. PA. He was listed as a farmer in the 1772 census. There is also information that he was a carpenter and that he built the stone wall of the cemetery at the Dryland Trinity Church. What I am trying to determine is if he also did stone carving, was ever listed as a mason or if records show him having a quarry on his property. Thanks, Sandra
