Betty Jo, yes, I can certainly make you copies. I will get the pictures
tomorrow. Will you be at the reunion in July? Either way, I can send you a
set. Will let you know how many. I visited my parents in Stuttgart, and went
to Gemmingen with my brother. He is not as interested in these old villages
as I am, and I knew he was getting bored. So I had to hurry up. But one of
these days, I will go to everyone of them. I have a chance to have somebody
make a video of all the villages our Germanna ancestors came from, which might
be something to explore. Might be nice for people who can't visit in the near
future. If there is any interest, let me know. Elke

PS: We are related through Michael Clore's daughter Catherine, who married
Hans Martin Walk about 1735.

Hello Elke:
Read with envious interest about your trip to Germany. My grandmother
was a Glore/Clore. I would be very interested in purchasing a copy of
your photos of Gemmingen if it would be possible.
