Dear Trier Web Page; My husband and I would like to express our thanks to the many subscribers that helped us stumble through the sometimes challenging pursuit of genealogy. A special thanks to Herr Scholer, without his information on our Thommes family history we would not have been able to continue our search for living relatives still in Germany. Last week my husband and I met his third cousin in Grimburg. This would be the first contact the family has had since losing contact after the war. It was amazing. We are now in the process of passing information and pictures between the remaining family members. We speak little German which made it hard to communicate but we were very lucky to find a few very kind german people who wanted to help us. We do have another favor to ask our German web users. That question is! Is there anyone out there that knows the origins of town shields/coat of arms? Specifically we are interested in the meaning of the town shield for Grimburg, the old castle. Thank you again for everyones help. Alice Radcliff _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
