What would be "normal, real Germans"? Saxonians? Frisians? Swabians?

Yes, yes and yes (although I'm in doubt about Frisians).
You didn't miss my bunch of smilies, did you?

Gee, if it's berg or burg, I'm sure you figured out what town I was
talking about.

I figured out that you don't respect the culture enough to get the
spelling right. Typical arrogant, ignorant Republican-voting Merkin.

Oh cripes, give it a rest! This is a travel newsgroup, not a political one.
Cathy, the ending "berg" or "burg" mean different things. It's not just a
spelling difference. Look into it and you'll never make that mistake again.

Hate-filled guy: grow up!

Lord knows Cathy posts enough stuff that make me cringe as to her ignorance
without saying she's arrogant, etc.

And Cathy, while you're at it, do some research into that Greek dance and
find out why the men wear those costumes. Educate yourself.

February and into March. They do look a lot alike.


You fly down from the NE US regularly? Cathy said you guys lived in
the NE - NY, NJ? That's real dedication to M. Mouse and cohorts.

Why do you want to see our vacation photos? Have you run out of people
to make fun of?

But last year you said you were going to post some, but there were
sooo many and it was taking a long time to sort them out...so either
they were very blurry due to the bus movement, or it turned out to be
too much work to scan in all those postcards you bought via
mail-order.

My possible relatives were not home when we went to their house. I
left a bunch of "family tree", papers in their mail box. Along with
our e-mail address. We have been exchanging pictures for the past
week. We are not positive of the connection, but it looks like we
might be related.

Cathy

Did you not let them know you were coming?

We talked to five men that were guests there. Four were from Ohio
and one
from Switzerland. They were doing extensive genealogy research. They
showed us over a hundred pages of family tree information. They
offered us their appointment at the courthouse in Bamberg for the next
day. They weren't going to use it.

I hope you realize all those records at the courthouse wouldn't have
been in English? Amateur genealogists, gotta love 'em - haven't a
clue how to properly research or document, or interpret the validity
of sources.
