Not sure if you have contacted these folks yet Barney (if so ignore this). The messages carry today's date though, and pertain to Niedersachsen. Can't hurt to check as they say.

Laurie's name and addy I recognize from a different mailing list. She's been at the game for some time now, but I'm not sure if I saw posts before from her re Speckmanns (could easily have missed them though, if that were the case).

Thanks for the heads up. I have not responded to these - I don't remember getting them via the email list.

jb it appears there is some kind of bulletin board for this list - that is news to me I will check it out.

Thanks again,

Anybody know what a GED file is?

Hi Barney,
     .ged is a Gedcom file extension .... a sort of universal genealogical file
that can be used by most, if not all, genealogical programs.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the info. I have yet to invest in a program but understand that the Family Tree Maker (I think that is the name) is one of the better ones.

Any coments on such programs?

Hi Barney,
    I've heard several people say they like it, but I've never used it myself.
    When I was first starting to get into Genealogy my wife noticed a "Snap!
Family Tree" program on sale at Best Buy for $5. She talked me into buying it
which I was reluctant to do because I figured you only get what you pay for. I
finally decided I could afford to waste $5 and bought it. I've been very
pleased with it and the price is definitely a bargain!
