Way to go jeff !!!!
Ditto what Missy said! 🙂
Good job Jeff
This is amazing!!! What an accomplishment!
Good job Jeff, you’ve acomplished much more than any genealogy person can.
Very cool, thanx for your hard work.
Hallo Jeff
Gratulation, Du wirst berühmt. Du hattest aber auch viel Glück bei Deiner Recherche. Diane Denney (Greiner) gab Dir den entscheidenden Tip, da sie alte Dokumente aufbewahrt hatte. Auch meine Urgroßeltern hatten nicht alles weggeworfen, sodass die Briefe von Maria Katharina Mahler (Greiner) noch vorhanden sind. Ich vermute, dass kaum jemand den Brief von Maria Katharina Mahler (Greiner) lesen kann.
Glückwunsch und weiterhin viel Erfolg bei Deiner Ahnenforschung
WinfriedGreat Job Jeff!
have you translated the letter from German.Fantastic work Jeff! I know how you felt. I was an adoptee with closed files until the early 90s Now I have discovered cousins in Norway and Sweden, and am trying to trace the English/Welsh side of the family. Good luck with your own further research.
kind regards
Carolynincredible story!!! You have given me a lot to think about
Jeff,
I am so proud of your achievements with this family tree project. I had always heard that so many of our relatives came from Germany, but I had no idea someone would ever make the connections. Kudos! Great job!Jeff, this is awesome. I know you have just begun on your journey to become a great genealogist. Alot of new doors should begin to open for you after this publication. I’m here if you need help. Good Luck and job well done.
Way to go Jeff! Just received my letter today & will contact you soon! Would love the English translation of the letter very much. P–
Thanks for sharing such a true – to – life example of what one can accomplish when the passion for adventure and discovery is yet flowing in ones blood … most people nowadays do not wish to share any of their search tips… but Jeff – you are the MOST !congratulations are in order and I wish you well…. p. s. it would be awfully nice if you were to do a follow – up – some time in the near future !
When you do family genealogy you are always surprise by your findings. My father’s family has been traced back to William the conquer.
Jeff, Did you know that all the United Presidents are connected either to each other or to links that are related to other Presidents. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in fact related perhaps distantly. George Washington’s Heraldic Shield is carved into the stone of my Ancestral Home in Sunderland, Co. Durham, England and George Washington’s Ancestral Home- OLD WASHINGTON HALL is 3 miles away from Hylton Castle (my Dad’s Ancestry). My Mother’s Ancestry goes back to Chepstow Castle in Monmouth, Wales. My Ancestry goes back 32 Generations to beyond William The Conqueror. Maybe Vivian Estes and I are related in some way. Contact5 me at tinym81@rogers.com if you wish to. Thanks for such great info. Sincerely Yours, Paul Morris Hilton.
its is exellent job…
You have made a fantastic discovery Jeff. It is wonderful when this happens as not always the case. I discovered I (in Northern Ireland) am related to the late William Ferguson Massey P.M. N. Z. I am still searching and its great when you can help others to do the same.
