Hey Melissa,
It's Becky and also almost 9 years later that I'm responding to your reply! I've been doing a lot of family geneology lately and I've managed to track about 9 people from Germany and elsewhere even that we are possibly related to. I have facebook (like the rest of the world) and that is where I found most of them. I don't even know if you will ever see this post, but I would really like to keep in touch with you. My email is bickingr@misericordia.edu...send me a hello when and if you have time! It would be nice to hear from you. I'm back in school for my Doctorate and so that and work have been keeping me quite busy! Hope all is well! I'll also fill you in on what I have found about our family geneology.
