My previous message -- earlier today (1/5/01) should have noted my e-mail addresses as:
johnellgen@email.msn.com (home) and
jellgen@express-scripts.com (work)... So, if you have some potential geneology match-ups (links to Herman Illgen of Altenburg, Saxony, Germany --- approx 20 kilometers south of Leipzig --- immigrating thru New Orleans, circa 1840's --- with a probable name change from Illgen to Ellgen) ... I can be reached at either e-mail address (with the caveat that my "boys" tend to tie up most of the "home" internet time)..
