[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Neumann from Marianowka

[Jerry Frank]

I thought that someone should take on the task of explaining Lloyd's 
cryptic response.  :-)  It will have brought a smile to many who 
attended this year's convention.

For those who did not attend, one of the presentations was by Ron 
Neumann who used his search for Cousin Fred to describe, often in a 
humorous way, a variety of techniques for furthering one's family 
research.  "Cousin" Fred is a real Fred Neumann who appears to be 
related to Ron's family but research to date has not established the 
connection.  Ron monitor's this list closely and I'm sure he will be 
in touch with John if there is such a possibility.
