I know most of you are not as interested in Germany as much as I am, but you might want to know that in adddition to having A.S.S., you also have an ancestor from Germany. Our Arnett (Arnet, Arnot, Arnott, Arnette) roots have not been "rooted" out yet, but we do have some Gale family history that takes us to Germany. It seems as though, Henry Gale's wife (Sarah Gale), whom he married in or around Sydney, Australia is a daughter of one Elizabeth Mc Audra who was born in Shoudey, Germany. She married Tom Wills and they moved to Sydney. So there you have it. We are part German. Come to think of it, several of you look German and several of you act German. Here is the actual geneology information on Elizabeth. I've tried to find Shoudey, Germany, but it seems it presently doesn't exist. What if it was in Elder Arnett's mission? Huh...........
Elizabeth Mc Audra, ABT 1798 - Shoudey, Germany
Individual Note: Spelling varies in Gale Book from McAudry (p. 17) to McAudra (p. 7).Merle O'Shannasy spelled it McAndrew.

Very interesting indeed...
I will not be coming up for the 4th festivities. All Dave's extended fam is coming here (some staying at our place, etc). So, I'll miss out. We're coming up next month, though, for drill again.
