Catching up


I have not been posting to this blog, but have been busy.

I sent this as an e-mail to my cousins and family.

A few weeks ago I was on Family Search because someone had made a change on a record that I had put a watch on. 

It led me to pull out my Stoltz/Stults files. I had received quite a lot of information from a lady by the name of Denise Rosenbluth. She and a lady by the name of Ora Porter Wood had done a great amount of research on this family. 

I had not been working on this line since I was in Germany. I had entered the names into PAF and called it my Altgelt Frankfurt file. 

I came across someone in Family Tree who had a source from Find A Grave. When I looked at the record I was curious as to who had entered the information since there was no cemetery noted in Germany. 

I emailed him and he replied and gave me access to his website with 24,000 individuals going back to 1404.  His name is Andrew Outcalt.

I have received some files from him, which I would like to share with you. 

I have been working on the Stambaum pictured above and making sure that all the names are in Family Tree. 

This is a preliminary report. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. I have a great deal of work yet to do.  I attached a tree document to show how my family is connected to the Altgelts.
