GLEN - Thank You for sharing - I'm sorry we have such little Canada info!
Does Anyone have HOLLINGER info extracted on Canada that you could share?
GLEN, do you have info from the parish records of Lambsborn ?
Would this help us connect ? Do You know who you connect to in Waldmohr ?
Maybe some of our members have studied this area and would contribute info =

Mostly, we just kinda have one line back and a couple kids - Glad we have that!

Please share - marie, iowa
