Thanks Hal, I will try that. Do you have the web site information for it, or is it on Cyndi's List? Thanks again.

In my searching I have come across jillions of Benders and I cant believe there is'nt one who knows, heard of, is related to, or thinks they know of someone named Bender who married Daniel Webster Blattenberger ,both of whom lived in Rappho, Pa. With a surname like mine, it is'nt easy to not notice it if you have ever heard of it. I will be heartily thankful if anyone has any information at all and will forward it. thank you, Hal Blattenberger

Hello Sharon, I tried the two ship list too and could'nt get a rise from either of them. I'm sending the one I tried with success hoping it will help you,---it's American plantations & colonies. Hal Blattenberger

My apologies to the list, that was supposed to be to an individual. sorry.

A prison's mailing list? That must be interesting. Beth

Have to share a success story with all PENNA-DUTCH-L & D subscribers: Has to do with Johnathan GRIEST b. 8 / 13 / 1793 York Co. PA. + Mary MORRIS b. 6 / 7 / 1785 Baltimore, MD. and one of their 9 daughters: Esther GRIEST b. 4 / 1 / 1814 York Co. PA. + Thomas Bradley ROTH b. 8 / 7 / 1810. These were my 3gr & 2gr-grandparents respectively. On 2-13-99 Vicki wrote: <<Hello Paul, I have lots of stuff on the Griest family.

Hi......I am researching Martin BETZ and Andreas BETZ in Manheim Town, Lancaster County, Pa. circa 1750-1800. I am interested in information from the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Manheim, Lancaster County, Pa. I would be interested in marriage information, confirmation information and baptismal information regarding either name. Thanks, Tina [email protected]

Paul, I loved your RootsWeb success story--is it any wonder that RootsWeb is now in the top ten Websites in users remaining at their sites--of ALL the Websites on the Internet? If it didn't prove successful for people they wouldn't stick around and come back for further information. What is even better than that is that RootsWeb, unlike the other 9 sites in the top ten, is largely run by MANY volunteers each doing a small part--we ALL are RootsWeb. It is a grassroots example all of us can be proud to support. Hearing success stories such as yours encourages the rest of us to keep plugging away at our brick walls. I would like to ask your permission to repost your message to the Team- Rootsweb list where the folks just love to hear success stories--let me know if this is OK with you. I won't repost the message without your permission. Thanks! Joan

My GGGrandparents were Jonas Heimbach and Elizabeth Moyer, but other than their names, I know nothing about them. I'm guessing they were born about 1847 and that at least one of them was raised around New Hanover in Montgomery County. Does anyone recognize this family?

Beth, I also have been getting the junk mail all of a sudden, when I have tried to e-mail back , the address given is no good the mail is returned undeliverable. How can you get removed? KAy

When you get advertisements just forward to: [email protected] Do not answer the advertisement. Norma

Is anyone else getting junk mail from someone at AOL? I belong to a number of lists and just recently began getting junk mail on a daily basis, almost, and it's always an AOL name. And, if there are any AOL members out there that know how I can contact AOL about this I'd appreciate it. I know they have some pretty strict rules about spamming and advertising (I think). I have no idea how this person got my name, I'm assuming it was from a mailing list but I have no idea which one. Thanks, Beth

Joan; I am sending this to you privately. If they send you a header like you asked I would be very much interested in learning how to read the headers at the same time. I am pretty much self taught on the computer and the Internet and don't have many opportunities to have someone teach me something new. Besides I too receive mail that says the header is faked and would like to know how to handle it. Thank You; Bob Loshbaugh [email protected]

I am looking for the family of Louise SANDVIG. Louise married either Thomas or Jean-Marie Boicourt prior to 1774 when their son Edward was born. There is a little confusion over who she was married to. The children were born in Westmoreland County, PA. Any help with Louise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jean

How can you get > removed? Kay and Beth, it really is a bit off topic for this list but I can understand the frustration with spam mail. It really has nothing to do with RootsWeb and they have filters in place to stop spam from reaching the lists. There are many ways that all of us get our e-mail addresses on spammers' lists. The addresses you are reporting the spam to are forged addressed which is why the mail is bouncing. If you can send me a copy of the full headers from one of the spams I will try to explain to you where and how to report it if I can. I need the full headers though--and don't send it all--just one--I have enough of my own thanks. Joan

Thought this might interest all of you. It isn't just our imagination that interest in genealogy is picking up on the Internet. RootsWeb.com was # 10 of ALL Websites for December, 1998, in the amount of time people spend at their sites once they visit. Here is the list of the top 10 from yesterday's Wall Street Journal: Spellbinding Sites: Which Web sites keep users' attention the longest? These were the top 10 in December. 1) gamesville.com 246 min/month 2) ebay.com 126 min/month 3) moneycentral.msn.com 66 min/month 4) yahoo.com 60 min/month 5) hotmail.com 57 min/month 6) netaddress.com 44 min/month 7) uproar.com 40 min/month 8) www.schwab.com 37 min/month 9) www.etrade.com 37 min.com 10) rootsweb.com 36 min/month It's about time RootsWeb has gotten the recognition it deserves and all who are contributing deserve some credit!!
