Russell, Thanks so very much for your German translation of the information you sent on my immigrant lookup, I have only subscribed to this list for 2 weeks but have learned much. I am busy printing out all the information on languages, map sites, town locations, history, etc, I appreciate the fact that the list members do this, I also subscribed to the Prussia list because I have ancestors who came from what was listed as Prussia, Germany, and other areas. I'm sure a lot of other researchers who only read all the postings, and don't reply, gain much knowledge also. Ellen in VERY WINDY at the moment, South Dakota. ewhite@siouxvalley.net
