In Germany, old family researchers research only the surname of their family, so the help we've had with our Keinath family has only been with that surname. I nagged at my research partner who is so good with old German to research the allied names, which I've always done, and he has been able to add at least 1000 more people to these charts. I'm really sensitive about these old charts where they ignore women. I think it stinks! We wouldn't be here without women! BTW, back in 1650 Germany, one young man actually walked 16 kms. to the next village to find his wife. I think he heard somehow she was an only child and would inherit her parent's farm, which began the Onstmettingen Keinaths and all in America are from this one branch, from Claudius, the one who limps, who walked uphill to Onstmettingen. Cute story! Some of these people never left their village in 400 years! Norma Barbara Johnson wrote: > > Hello Diane, > > D.
