It has many indexes, references to places of origin of persons in the
Greater Cleveland German community, etc. Also it gives detailed info on the
130 German churches in Cuyahoga County, hundreds of clubs,
organizations,etc. Send me your mailing address if you wish a notice when it
appears. I may start publishing it in separate volumes as I finish the major
topics. One is an index with biographical sketches from CLEVELAND UND SEIN
DEUTSCHTUM, an extensive history which appeared in at least 4 volumes bwteen
1897 and 1907 and which has been recently published in
translation---without, howver, the photos of the subjects of the
biographies. My volume will incklude xerox copies of the photos. I have the
origibal German editions with the glossy photos. I do not recognize your
surname LAPP but will check my database of thousands of Greater Cleveland
names for it. I also incklude some info on German communities in surrounding
counties, especially Liverpool (Valley City)
