In this context I like to remind you again to leave your familynames in
kartenmeister.com in the appropriate villages, town or cities. It is easy
to do and may.help you to find your ancestors. If nothing else you always
can contact the researchers already signed in. Better to have two or more
researcher looking for information in a location then you alone.

Good Luck

Uwe
