No roll calls! The rolls calls are the number one reason driving many subscribers out. Mere listing of surnames is not acceptable. informative details are required W. David Samuelsen, listowner

There are 3 Scheidt but two are easily eliminated because they were not in Bavaria at the time, leaving only one. It is now in Saarland, just outside of Saarbrucken. W.

Good Morning Fellow Listers, I just joined this list because I am trying to find out information about my great grandfather. His name was Jacob BROSSARD and he was born December 25, 1867. While I was growing up, the only information I had was that he was born in Alsace-Lorraine. He may have had a French surname, but he was extremely proud of his German heritage. He married my great grandmother on February 10, 1891 in Buffalo New York, and the information on it states that his place of birth was Scheidt Bavaria. Up until I received that copy, I had no idea where he was born. His father is listed as John Brossard and his mother was Barbara Weisgerber????? Can't really read the writing very well. Can someone give me some direction as to how to find more information about him???? Thanks for any help you can provide. Bill Hinkle Wichita, Kansas EvsMate@aol.com

Seek information on Pierre LaFONTAINE and Marguerite BRETZ, his wife, who lived in Logwy-Bas, Meurthe et Mosel, France. Margaretha BRETZ was born 17 July 1837, Stockigt, Kreis Bitburg, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. She died 9 June 1906, Longwy-Bas. They are said to have owned the Terminus Hotel in Longwy. dick barr Syracuse, New York, USA

It is a scam. Also the owners are under investigation by local law enforcement for credit card scams. W.

The problem with this site is that whoever owns it is linking to free sites without the permission of the owners of these sites and charging a fee to view them. Is it illegal, or a scam?? I don't know, but it certainly goes against the principles of those of us who voluntarily transcribe and post information to the internet with the intention that the information be freely available to researchers.

Hello I hope that others have better luck than I did with this information site. Several years ago I sent my emigrant family (NEUBRECHT) information to the Institute and asked if they had additional family information. I enclosed addressed envelope , and payment . I did not receive the courtesy of a reply. I later spoke to Herr Roland Paul , the director of the Institute. Herr Paul indicated that they were busy and he would look into the matter. I has now been over two years and I have heard nothing further. I have also talked to others who have had the same experience.

It's just rumor, but I recieved several e-mails warning me about this site. I haven't been in a hurry to investigate. Jim

Maybe the writer meant "spam" and not scam.

I don't know anything about the company in the e-mail, nor would I necessarily subscribe to a "one-time deal", but I find it odd that this message would be forwarded to this list with no comment backing up the allegation that this is a scam.

I am looking for Christine Rosstaeuscher who was born 1846 and married Johannes Schmidt in 1866. Johannes was born in 1838 and was the son of Christian Schmidt and Anna Maria Schich/Schik. All came from the Pfalz area of Bad Duerkheim Germany. Thanks, Missy

Thanks to all those who corrected the URL...I think I was saying more to the google search engine. I have used it often and it brings up so many foreign sites. Unfortunately , I don't read write or speak German but some posters often have English pages.. I have even put my own surnames in and of course added genealogy and hope---as usual nothing so far.. Now ---to find out the quickest way to gain access to the info on the cards...Did anyone find an e mail add for the Institut? Florence

The original spelling could have been Schaffner or Schäffner or Schaeffner derived from schaffen (labouring). Ernst Dierich. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert J.
