Hello,
I was wondering if there are genealogical societies or other
groups that are dedicated to researching information about immigrants
into the US from the Netherlands.
Thanks for any reaction.

I'm fairly new to the group, and am wondering the best way to present the
information I have.  Would a Tiny Taffel be best, or is there some other
format that would be preferable?  I want to present it so people who might
have information for me or who might want information from me will be able to
(moderately) easily see this and get back to me.

Any suggestions?

     I am the executive vice president of the Castor  Association
of America and am interested in knowing if anyone else out  there
is a member of this organization too.  Let me know.  Maybe we can
correspond directly on BITNET with one another.

     We  have a quarterly newsletter called the News-Caster.   We
have  a  reunion every two years.  The last one was held
June, 1992 at Irving, TX.  The next one will be in Columbus, OH
in June, 1994

     We publish a directory of the membership (about 400) once  a
year.  This gives their name, address, and lineage.    Membership
dues are $10 the first year and $8 per year thereafter.

     If  anyone out there might be interested in  joining  please

	I write a lot of letters to friends in Germany and I have

     Wilson, James    born about 1896 in Indiana   living in Illinois in 1920
             Lucille  wife of James, born about 1896 in Illinois


     Wilson, William, born about 1871 in Indiana, father of James.  His father
             was born in England.
             Mary, wife of William, born about 1872 in Indiana.  Parents Irish.

The 1920 census lists both Wilson's living in Central City, Il. in 1920

I have purchased it, and am trying to evaluate it, but it requires
a printer to initialize it, and I did not bring a printer with me
on this trip to Washington, since most of my work is on a system in
San Antonio over a modem.  I will have to wait, for about 14 more days
until I get back to SanAntonio, before really checking it.

If others are using it, please reply, and leave comments about

I'd be very surprised if there were an "original family name in
Hebrew".  Until Christian authorities forced Jews to take surnames,
standard Jewish practice was to use patronymics:  "A, {son,daughter} 
of B."  These names were Hebrew, but were no more "family names" than 
the Scandinavian "-sson" and "-sen" forms were (till recently, in all 
countries but Iceland).

Most surnames among the Ashkenazim (Jews of Eastern and NW European
background) today derive from Yiddish, and are names of places,
occupations, or of objects thought attractive (e.g., Morgenstern,
"morning star", or "Rosenfeld," field of roses); these are the names
usually considered "Jewish" in English-speaking countries.  I'm not as
familiar with the surnames taken by Sephardim, and I know a good many
Dutch Jews (the most famous probably being the philosopher Baruch
Spinoza) were of Sephardic background as well.

I'd look first for an occupational origin for "Spetter", then for a
reference to places or objects with a similar sound.

[Disclaimer:  I'm of German (Catholic and Protestant), Danish and
 English (Protestant) background, but I've done some dabbling in the
 subject for my SO's Ashkenazic family.]

His naturalization petition lists Kiniston.  I would appreciate it

Comments: To: FRISKPH <ROOTS-L@VM1.NoDak.EDU>

I have down loaded data from Ancestral file several times. Indeed, one
download option is the
GEDCOM format.  The automatic merge capability in PAF can be used to merge
this new GEDCOM  data into your main PAF data.

However I have found the merge functions in PAF nearly useless on large
files. The merge skips too many possible  or obvious matches.  Most times I
just sift through the Alpha sort in PAF and manually noted the matches and
then gone back to merge those records manually.

It gets very tedious when you want to merge a 1000+ individual GEDCOM file
into a 10000+ individual PAF database.

One thing to be sure and do is use the ID field from the Ancestral File
GEDCOM. This makes subsequent merges from Ancestral File a bit easier.

If any others has relatives in Aas (]s) in Akershus, please feel to ask. I
have the ]s Bygdebok vol. I-III, so I may find lot of info there. Mr. Norin
still has distant relatives at Aas, named the same as his grand grand grand
(or was it grand grand grand grand?) Baltser Baltsersen. If you have some
ancestors named Baltser Baltsersen, then you may be related somehow:-)

              TAYLOR FAMILY/FAMILIES OF NORTHUMBERLAND, ENGLAND

        We have two TAYLOR mystery women "on our tree," presumedly born
        in England.  Both of theses ancestors were living in
        Northumberland in the early 1700s.

        Jane TAYLOR married Matthew EDINGTON 22 Oct. 1700 in Fallodon,
        Northumberland, England.  Their son, John EDINGTON, married
        Hannah TAYLOR 21 Oct. 1730 in Belford, Northumberland, England.

        At the present, we have no idea if these two women are related
        or if we are working on two separate TAYLOR families.  The
        EDINGTON men were generally miners.

        If you have a TAYLOR family in Northumberland, England, we would
        appreciate hearing from you.  Any information or suggestion
        would be appreciated.  (BTW, a similar message is posted in
        GENEALOGY.EUR.  This is TAYLOR family day.  Sorry to be
        repetitive.  But I "gotta" know!)

        Kindest regards,
        Sophia
