Hey listers -
While my Bode's don't hail from Hannover -- allegedly Hessen - Kassel, but I
have yet to find them (information provided below) -- I have found an
awesome site run by Judy Herbert on www.myfamily.com regarding Bode
families. I have bounced this over to Judy and maybe she can send out a
note to the list on how to join up with the site.
