My family has been traced 12 generations back directly to the IOM but it took some time and a lot of help. In those 12 generations there are German, Irish, Indian and other names we haven't traced yet. If all of us who are searching were limited to ONLY German, Ect., BB's I hate to think of the lost time and missed chances of finding a long lost family member who might just happen upon that name in another BB. I was not aware that this is Elizabeth's personal web page and if it is I sincerly apologize BUT if it's not, and she can't help Pegi, then her even answering, much less labeling, Pegi's posting as "Inappropriate" was in it's self inappropriate. Nuff said...Good luck Pegi!!
