Wow that is surprising-- are you sure that there aren't errors in it,
or something? I now have about 600 people in the Danish part of my
file, and have probably had five or six matches in the past three
years. Some of them have not been very helpful, or seemed very
interested in collaborating, but two of them have been really great
to work with, and I made a huge amount of progress with the help of
one of them-- a fourth cousin's wife-- we were stuck at the same
place, but the little bits of info we each had allowed us to figure
out enough to get back another 4 or 5 generations, to the early 1700s
where the records petered out. And someone else used to google to
search for the name and town of one of her ancestors, and found a
message from me to this list about the same man-- she emeiled me, and
she had lots of information, and photos. Paula
