Dear fellow searchers,

as there were so many replies to my question, I want to thank you all 
very, very much here at the listserve.

Just to inform you about the background:
My web-space is only 10MB. A .html version of my "evangelical marriages 
at Sompolno from 1840 to 1862" (more than 7000 persons) is 12MB. So I 
can only store it "zipped" (1.75MB), which is no problem for my Windows 
XP computer.
But, as not only my good friend Art Lauf uses Apple, I wanted to make 
shure that he - and others  who are interested - can download the file. 
Created by the german version of PAF 5.2.18.

Unpacking the file, which may take very much time, results into 788 
.html files. Purpose is, to give an impression on how the "german 
names" have changed and how the families are linked together by the 
whitnesses (Trauzeugen). For many families its only a short jump to 
their origins at Wuerttemberg or other german homes. I4m looking 
foreward to soon link up my wifes BLOCH-ancestors to the 
Plochers/Ploechlers from Wuerttemberg.
As I want to pause for some months working on that file, it still has 
mistakes I know of. Nevertheless I welcome all comments. When the final 
version is uploaded to my web-site, I will notify you.


cordially,

Reiner
