    2. Hi Susan and List, I would try interlibrary loan first because the books are expensive. They can be purchased from the author, my daughter got her address from Boarders bookstore. "The Large Circle of Relatives" is a book of ancestor charts and descendant group sheets, so if anyone is looking for Granville area Luxembourg or German ancestors they may want to check this wonderful source out. Some Granville names in this book are: Gengler, Schweitzer, Schmit/Schmidt, Faber, Speltz, Reiland and Becker. There are many, many more Ozaukee and Washington Co. family names in there also. You may also want to check out her book "Rollingstone: A Luxembourgish Village in Minnesota" It is a book loaded with family pictures 1850's through 1920's. I was delighted to find 17 photo's of my relatives who originated in the Milwaukee area. Wow, real pictures of people I never dreamed I would ever know what they looked like! There is one photo that I thought maybe of particular interest to you, Susan. The notation reads: "The THALEN Couple. These two are the great-grandparents of Hulda Wise Jacobi [Andrew], from Rhineland, Germany." I don't know if this is the family you're looking for, but if it is I am sure you would like to see it. Happy Hunting, Cindy
