Hi wnoetulip,

Welcome to RootsChat

Who are you referring to, specifically ?

Is it the Meenz family from MeenzHunters ...

Hi,

I am researching my own family tree and have stumbled across German Pork Butchers...

'Mine' are from Wakefield and the names are Meenz and Schwab

(on the NA website they have naturalisation papers - does anyone know what info they can provide?)

the online index says that the families originally came from Wuertemberg.

... or is it another family ?

regards,
Bob

Yes its the meenzhunters message. When I replied to it the first time it didn't associate it with that message. So I tried again with the same result. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Nothing wrong

The replies are always sorted chronologically, rather than associating them with particular messages.

So in future, if you say "Hello Meenzhunter" or similar, we will know who you mean.

(but those are just minor details, there's always someone around who will help out till you get the hang of things.)

MeenzHunters should now get an e-mail notifcation that there are new messages on this topic, so he will probably be along some time to check them out. In the meantime, just to be sure, if you reply once more on this topic you can then use the PM system to send him a message.

And just to be really sure, I'll send him a PM right now, to let him know you are seeking contact

regards,
Bob

Just been on the DBSIG, absolutely outstanding, you guys have put a lot of work into getting that database up and running, fantastic

Thanks for telling us that, johnbhoy, although I have yet to venture forth and see if I need to enter all my relatives on there. And, of course, to check the details that have already been put there.

I read the messages and the PM from Berlin-Bob about records from Histres being used to get the database up and running, and as Histres has all mine I have assumed that my details and connections are all there anyway.

I'll take another look when the database has been running for a while.

Cheers for now

I read the messages and the PM from Berlin-Bob about records from Histres being used to get the database up and running, and as Histres has all mine I have assumed that my details and connections are all there anyway.

Anything that Histres or RichardFunk had in their notes is there, but you all either need to enter the records under your own names, or, at least mark your interests in these records, otherwise nobody will see the connections.

Histres and RichardFunk both include lots of names in their lists, where the RootsChatter connections are "hidden" in the "Comments" or "Sources" fields, so this information is not visible in the table view.
