The name "Bodi" sounds vaguely familar to me. The name "Parnau" is extremely well-known to me.

You specify that the Birth Certificate that you have in-hand is for one "James Adam Parnau". I have seen this name in Google searches on the name "Parnau". Please note that my name - which was given to me at birth; has never been altered; and can be backed up by United States Social Security records, the IEEE, and UCFW Local 1262 - is Adam James Parnau.

Quite the coincidence.

For further research on this front, please contact Mr. Alan Parnau at (spam-resistant e-mail address and instructions to follow) awparnauicbskcom (replace "i" with "@" and "k" with "." to send e-mail).

Alan is my father, and he is in the process of constructing a documented history of the name "Parnau". He will absolutely welcome any information you can provide.

Indeed, I would like to hear further on this matter myself - my father and I are in constant contact and any data given to him will be presented to me with the utmost speed. Additionally, my previous employment was as a systems administrator at a web-host in New Jersey, and I saw a massive number of hijacked-header e-mails come across my network from one "Trudy Parnau". Should such a person exist, and if such a person be misrepresented by a cracker or a virus, and if such a person were actually a member of a lost branch of my family, this is something that would interest me greatly.

Please contact Alan Parnau at the above address for further communications and additional geneological data.
