Folks: I have a mailgroup of just under 100, that is devoted to the study of genealogy, history, culture, religion, genetics, etc. of the original 13 families that came to Germantown, PA, under the direction of Franz Daniel Pastorius. Some of our members are heads of prominent Philadelphia organizations, such as historical societies and german organizations. Others have visited the Crefeld or Krefeldt to trace their roots. Still others have actually inherited huge lists of 35 and 45+ thousand names from former descendants of the original 13. We want to round out our group. We are currently building a fine webpage at http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/cavendish/693/ We wish to invite you, and any you may be in touch with in the native lands themselves, to join our group, by sending a blank email to: Original13-subscribe@listbot.com To unsubscribe, simply send another blank email to: Original13-unsubscribe@listbot.com or contact me, personally. Thanks, and I hope to meet you soon! Vince Summers p.s. We have an archive of about 600 or so data messages at http://www.listbot.com/ available to subscribers.
