I am excited!!!

I got some new information for our Family Tree this morning. My great grandfather Helmuth Mindemann had a aunt named Frederikka. A decendant of hers by the name of Nils sent a letter. Apparently he is working on geneology too. He got tons of information free and hopefully he will send some of his information this way. He lives near Schulenberg, Mecklenburg, Germany where he is attending the university studying politics. He confirmed that Helmuth's father was Johann August.I knew that. Johann was a Govenor, which I knew. The new information from Nils is that Johann's father was named Harnack. I had found a Harnack and a Johann who had a son named Johann. I was thinking it was Johann, but guess I guessed wrong. Now I can go on-line to the LDS library and search for more information on Harnack. I like it when they have unusual names like Harnack and Helmuth. Like how many Harnacks can there be??? Although there is another Helmuth ( Helmuth named a son Helmuth.) Nils was impressed with the documents that I had inherited from Helmuth. We have sleet this morning. Lenny is working so hope the driving doesn't get too bad. I was going to read my new cookbook this afternoon, but now I really have to work on geneology. The new cookbook is Trisha Yearwood's. There is a recipe for Black Bean Lasagna that looks kind of good. Be good for our vegetarian relatives. Lenny probably won't be home until late so he will get a frozen pizza. He has to eat it before I make "from scratch" pizza again. I have a new recipe for that I want to try too. The photo is Helmuth and sons and sons-in-law.
