I hope this helps. I have been doing research on my Mom's side for 18 years. It started out as a history prokect in school. I have the family tree traced back to 1607 in Dessau, Anhalt, Germany. I have skipped several generations, so if you want them, please email me at robcar@wworld.com. Thanks, Carol Ann
