Well Elizabeth . . . I'm so glad you asked. I am searching for my German ancestors on this board, in hopes that someone who might be searching for English or Irsh ancestors (which I do have on my father's side of the family) may in fact know something about these German ancestors as well. I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had. Also, I was not aware that this board was restricted to only people of English, Irish descent? Also, thank you to the many people that were able to help me in my search for help on this family.
