Roland you should make blogs out of these beautiful things you written here. Go in your profile and you find where and how... these are so good!

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am a genealogist. Tell me a little more detail about the Füschel und Engelhart, especially dates. Maybe I can then give you some ideas to work on.

Wow, I just love the paradoxical commandments...and I only know a little German but wish I knew more.

There is a story I heard about Russia every Easter sunrise service as a kid.

There was a man who challenged the existence of God in front of a crowd of thousands.

He challenged the audience to prove the existence of God.

A young man stood before the crowd and said (this was Easter morning)

"Jesus Christ is risen indeed"

and without skipping a beat they responded in a knee jerk fashion in unison:

"The Lord is risen indeed Hallelujah!"

I always liked that.

I received this e-mail from Joe Greenhill. I like it. You Too?

Kill WHO?

You might have heard, or probably missed it in the rush of news, but there

was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published an offer of a

reward in a newspaper to anyone who killed an American, any American

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let

everyone know what an American is . Making sure they know when they found

one. (Good one, mate!!!!)

"An American is British, Irish, French, or Italian, Spanish, Portuguese,

German, Czech, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian,

Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian,

Asian, or Arabian, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho,

Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim.

In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan . The only

difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them

chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer

only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for

the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence

, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of

happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other

nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans

came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other

nation to the poor in Afghanistan . Americans welcome the best of

everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best

food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.

The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired

and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless,

tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America .

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11,

2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World

Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures,

and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General

Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the

world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because

Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the

embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that

spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Please keep this going!

Pass this around the World ?

Then pass it around again.

It says it all, for all of us

Please do not just delete.

Pass it on first.

Thanks!
