Dear Hans,  I viewed your family photos on your web
page a couple weeks ago--great family and home!  I
couldn't access the attments of the photos of you,
your brother and nephew.  Maybe I will catch on to
this computer thing and see them eventually.  So you
are retired?  That allows you some free time to do
more family history research.  I found (by accident)
where you added my immediate family information to
your research data.  Actually, though I told you their
ages, I wasn't clear on their birth years so I will be
more exact.  Stephanie was born July 9, 1980 in Provo,
Utah USA. Onalisa (Lisa) was born December 27 1982 in
St. George, Utah USA.  Amy was born September 9, 1984
in Kailua, Hawaii, USA and Sarah was born July 15,
1987 in Orem, Utah USA.  Ross Adams Williams and I
were married in St. George, Utah June 8, 1979.  None
of the women in my family have middle names: neither
my grandmother on my mother's side nor my mother, nor
Ross's mother so we carried on that tradition in our
family. Someday I want to take a trip to the Ukraine
and see where my Leibbrandt ancestors helped found two
colonies, Hoffnunfgstal and Hoffnungsfeld. I am a
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints and family histories, research and connecting
families is part of the 3-fold mission of the church.
I have been dabbling at family history research since
I was 15 before computers were prevelent and research
was slow and tedious.  Now that computers are so
accessible, I haven't kept current with technology and
I feel very handi-capped.  You are blessed to have the
technological skills as well as the interest in family
history research.  Good to hear from you.   Cindy
