I only joined the list because there was a Samuel Custer married to member
of my Hallman family tree. I was trying to see where he connects in the
Custer tree(if there was any connection to Gen George Armstrong Custer. I
have received a lot of info-nothing that matches up though. Have gotten a
lot of Hallman info off the internet. Had no idea we went back to Germany.
I was told I was Irish on my Dad's side & Dutch & Welch on my moms. My
children think this is great since they took German in school. Norene

I would like to ask you a question. I have been on the list for over a
year,
hoping against hope that eventually I would recognize something in queries
or
statements from others regarding possibilities of my Castor origins, since
I
was not able to find a crack in my brick wall. I also belong to four or
five
other lists for other names I am researching in my quest to put together a
family history for my kids.
I have to comment that the Castor list is the one list in all that I have
short or long term subscribed to, that does not seem to have a helpful
interraction, which is part of what I thought the purpose was...to work
together. I have posted queries and never had a reply, response, or
question
from other listers. There does not seem to be a desire to help or have
interraction of suggestions. This is not an effort to have anyone do
anything for me at all. This is not the spirit nor the intent of any of
the
other lists, as well. I have done "legwork" in California for others, I
have
walked a cemetery for another, totally unrelated to me or anyone I know or
am
researching. I simply answered their query and felt I could help someone
out.
After much consideration, I guess I will unsubscribe.
Best of luck in whatever it is this list is hoping to accomplish. If I do
find my information, I will be happy to post it to the Castor page on
GenForum in hopes it may help someone else out.
