Great job, Yvonne - and you're exactly right about spelling. No wonder we go 'round and 'round! Maureen In a message dated 9/5/2009 5:32:16 P.M.

As nobody could find Oserwein I found Osterwein in what is now Polen. Just a thought! Many times during research I come across towns that have been misspelled at one time or another. Hope this helps.
