Your Research Report completed for William Stonebraker and family arrived on Monday, Sept. 15, 2003. I was so delighted to read the wonderful work done by Arden White and Kory Meyerink of ProGenealogists, Inc. Now William Stonebraker has a hometown - Grossropperhausen, Hessen-Nassau, Germany. It is such a mental relief to think of him arriving at the Port of Baltimore in 1838. William and Anna's baby, Adam, must have been just a newborn when they arrived in America. I have wanted to know these facts for over thirty years. I think I really got a lot of new information for your ten hours of work!!! Thank you. These features of your research were particularly meaningful to me: * The four-page Research Report was a great review of exactly what was found and not found. * The three-page Research Calendar was very professionally done. I can now use your excellent Source field to transfer this information into my PAF software on my home computer. Of the 17 sources cited, I had never heard of 8 of them. The book by Inge Auerbach, 943.41 W29a V.2 sounds interesting. Glad you can read the German language. Quite a bargain - you reviewed 17 sources in ten hours ... * The "Thermal", "Xerox", and "Laser" (computer) copies of the key documents were of excellent quality. It was a joy to see them ... * I absolutely loved the logical steps you took in tracing the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900 Census in order, looking for what was needed in these families. Appreciation is a small word for all that you have done. Best wishes, Bonnie King
