I have over 2500 names on this line of Schaefers, including photographs, birth records, death records, land deeds, etc.. . . sorry I did not include every bit of information on my original post, as I did not want to "over-inform" people that did not care to read it. I've never had such a negative response to a post from such a group of ungrateful, quick to criticize people. To date (in the last 3 days) I have received over 20 e-mails telling me I should have posted it this way or that way. BTW . . . my software does include this information. I chose not to include it at my own discretion. W.Barton
