[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Zelmer(Zellmer) Ancestry

[Gary Warner]

Allan,

I do not have all of the answers for your quest, but here are two thoughts:

1.   Look at our SGGEE001r7 database- Al now has three children of this couple.

2.  There is nothing lonelier than doing your 
family history when no one you know is your 
relative.   I will make you the same suggestion 
that I have from time to time made to all on this 
list.   Submit your database to SGGEE.    I do 
not yet see your data, so all you can check is 
who your deceased relatives are in our 
databases.    If you submit your data, you will 
likely find that you have some cousins in 
SGGEE.   Even if you already know a cousin or two 
who is an SGGEE member, we likely will be able to 
find more of them for you.   We also will likely 
increase the size of your database by sending 
your all of the cousins who are related to those 
you have already found.    Give it a try.   I 
believe you will find that no matter how diligent 
you are, that you are still not match for the computer finding your relatives.
