[Michele Gatica <michele_gatica(a)...]

Mona,

Thank you for researching and sharing this information
with the list regarding the Uelzen book.  This is a
much needed book in my genealogy library.

You and Lady Bonita helped me connect with Mr. Boe a
couple of years ago.  He provided me with ancestor
tables for my paternal grandfather's family.
Ironically, Lady Bonita and I found we share common
ancestors in the 1500 to 1600s.  Sounds like this book
will provide the siblings to our common ancestors and
hopefully resolve a question about two men who are
either my grandfather's uncles or male cousins.  

I wish you continued success in your family research.
