I think the author is talking about the soc.genealogy.german FAQ, or possibly to the whole genealogy.net website, it isn't clear. Anyway, I thought the team should read this note. I think the team as a whole deserves a lot of praise for what we have done for others over the years. We all deserve a great big attaboy. -- =Jim Eggert EggertJ@crosswinds.net ---------- From: GlennS <GlennS@bitstream.net> Reply-To: "GlennS@bitstream.net" <GlennS@bitstream.net> Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 13:42:04 -0600 To: "'eggertj@crosswinds.net'" <eggertj@crosswinds.net> Subject: Your genealogy site To your suggestion in your sec.geneology.german FAQ, a word of thanks: I've been casually collecting family history information and other researchers data for the last 15-20 years and am finally pulling everything together, making a real effort to methodically research many holes and to verify what data I've received from others. Your site is both informative and inspiring - the links and related resources invaluable. Through your site, I've found the research starting point I've been searching for the past several months. I found your site via a Google search for Antrifttal. A more restricted search revealed only your site and one other with a reference to "Antrifttal im Wandel der Zeiten", the book I purchased 6 years ago when briefly in Ruhlkirchen, the town my great-grandfather left in 1883. It has been a great resource, taking me from oral history to written record, that has allowed me to identify my great-great grandparents (SCHMITT/PFEFFER) and I believe well beyond that (translation in progress). So, thank you. You have enabled me to orient myself in the oceans of resource available. Regards, Glenn Schmitt glenns@bitstream.net
