Mary The List E-MAILS from Rootsweb DO NOT HAVE ATTACHMENTS. This includes all the list mail from the EWGS Mail List. Outlook Express on your own computer will take the PURE TEXT DIGEST MESSAGE and put an attachment paper clip on the E-Mail. It still DOES NOT HAVE ANY ATTACHMENTS when it reaches your computer. Outlook Express only does this to the Digests, so if you want to stop receiving the Digests let me know and I will switch you to the regular mail mode. Then YOUR computer will not try to tell you the digest has attachments. As a Prodigy member you can also read these E-Mails online and you will see that they contain no attachments.

Sabine has been working in the German Archives for about 15 years and hence she has experience in all areas of German research. Her lecture topics for EWGS will be what we felt would be the most help for the majority who are searching in Germany. 1 - How to Find that Elusive German Emigrant 2 - What is Where in the German Archives? 3 - German Research by Remote: How Do I Get These Records? 4 - German Sources Beyond the Church Records. She will also be having a question and answer session so you certainly could ask your questions. One of her many topics that she sometimes speaks about is the areas of Germany that were, are and now once again. Most of us, I think have similar problems in that area. My husband's father came from Estonia, had one sister who stayed there, and yet it is believed that he was German. With the 30 year wars, many were conscripted from all over Europe. His mother's family came from Hungary in an area that is now in Romania, which I would never have learned if I had not found them on the manifest list coming into America in 1921, and verifying that they were ethnic Hungarians. I think that title of the seminar describes what we all need to know - whether we find them in America or Germany eventually. I have so much German ancestry that I know I will be helped by all of those titles. Europe was "re-settled" (if you can call it that) by the three great powers in Yalta at the end of WW II, when Roosevelt was president, and they gave land to the various countries any which way they wanted too. Genealogists suffer from their decisions today. Thank you for the information you gave to the list, and I hope you will attend so that you will get answers to your questions.

I would like to ask you: When you say "Find your German ancestor", do you mean finding them here in the U.S. or finding them in Germany or some other country? After three months, I finally got a reply from Szczecin (in Polish that I can't read, but know a couple who can help). My "German" relatives were from Pommern - Treptow an der Rega (approx. 6 miles from the Baltic Sea) My request was for the marriage record of my Grandparents. I am hoping that it will tell me where my Grandfather was from or where he was born because I cannot find any record of where he came from. I know of no relatives, although he had a sister who never came to America. I am hoping this letter will tell me that they have found a record (I believe they have because it tells me the full name of my Grandfather, which I never knew before (I only knew two names and this shows SIX!!!!)) and gives me the full name of my Grandmother, which is correct. If there is anyone in your group whose ancestors were from Pommern, there is a group from Wisconsin that travel there each year and stops in the vairous villages. My Grandparents always said they were from "Germany", but this part was returned to Poland by the Russians. Germany, of course had taken it over for as long as my family lived there, I guess, which was for centuries. (Although, why did Russia give it to Poland?) Thought this might interest you. JoAn Gauer

500 Brickwall Solutions Book Some of you might remember that Beverly Vorpahl, Donna Phillips, Shirley Oakes and I all wrote articles for the first book. I just got a flyer that they had to go to a second printing of the first book and they are planning a new one. They are asking for new articles for a second book. They are asking for pictures etc. to go with the articles also. For More information on the new book go to https://familychronicle.com/NewBrickwallsSubmissions.htm Charles

I am searching for cousins who lived in the Spokane area in the 1940's-1950's. I realize that I am unable to obtain the census for these years whereby I might locate them. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might locate their names and find out what dates they lived in the Spokane area? HUGH BROWN, JACK (OR JACKIE) BROWN, CARL BROWN, GEORGE L. BROWN, CORA BROWN. (Hugh and Jack were sons of George L. and Cora Brown) Would I find more information at the other Washington Genealogical Society site? Would appreciate any input.

It is a good column, Bev. Hope they let Bev do it weekly again. My sister Jacque made a cake for my Uncle Leigh's 90th birthday (Nov. 30, 2003) that his mom (my grandmother) had made for him every birthday. It was a white cake with a boiled frosting using eggwhites. Took Jacque nearly a whole day. and she was worried we could not cut the frosting. It was a good cake, but she says he will not use the boiled frosting again, as that was way too much work. Charles P.S.
