Thank you Kylie,
Please ask if need help at anything. Not sure I can be of help but I will try anyway.
CONGRATS all! This looks great.
Much appreciated.
Kylie
Added links for the Bentheim one name study and for the Grafschaft Bentheim (re)sources page Bertram has been working on, so everyone can find it here as well. Germany and especially German (re)sources are much harder to find for members so if members have ancestors that moved to the Netherlands or were born or died in places that at some point were part of the Netherlands and later German or the other way around (with all the wars going on over the centuries things often changed) it's great to have a place where members can find sources. :)
Greets and hugs from the Netherlands,
Bea x
