Go to http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/DEU/NIEDERSACHSEN.html and subscribe. Hint: many people will skip over messages with nondescriptive titles such as yours. Consider the fact that everyone on this list is doing an "Ancestor Search" and needs "HELP" (another nondescriptive title used often). The preferred format for the subject is SURNAME: place: date. BTW, a quick search on the LDS FamilySearch website indicates the only data thay have on the Reineberg family name are on a family from Oldenburg that settled in Indiana. There are several Oldenburgs in Germany. One Oldenburg is also in the province of Niedersachsen only 40 miles from Diepholz. -- Please use this address until further notice mailto:fhheld@netzero.net _______________________________________________ Why pay for something you could get for free?
