Jim, I am a Stenger descendant. My 6th and 8th Great Grandmothers were both named Anna Stenger and both married Walter men. This line goes back to the 1400s in the Spessart area of Germany. I credit Janet Nichols (who I affectionately call my genie fairy godmother! She is my 3rd cousin) with helping learn how to do this the right way. Yes it can be daunting but it is learnable. Send me your direct email because I have some things you may want to take a look at. You can reach me at lbozzay@relaquest.com.
