• Notes

  Charlene, I got your name from Rootsweb.com. The subject folks are my 3rd g grandfather and 3rd g grandmother. I am looking for some help. Someone with the e-mail address of eurotek999@aol.com posted a message on Rootsweb.com that John Swartz (father of Henry) 1766-1843 was born in Swartzenburg, Baden, Germany. This person has apparently changed e-mail addresses and I can't contact them. Have you ever run across this? Do you know who this person is, I need the origin of this information. Also, I noticed that you have Elizabeth Thornton as Elizabeth Susan. Elizabeth and Susan were two different people. I wrote a magazine article on this which was published in March 2003. If you would like a copy, I will be glad to send it to you if you give me your mailing address. Thanks. Ted M.
