Just kidding Gilbert. You don't see it in my user name but I am German as well. My Grandfather's family is from the Augsburg area. My grandmother emigrated from outside of Bern in 1904.

Good chance that I was there. Just shoot me a PM, if you want :)

My Grandma from my fathers side was 100% German and I also have some German in me from my mothers side too. I'm 47% German, 25% Irish and the rest is equally divided up through a few other ethnicitys.

hold the presses!

My brother called me tonight and said his granddaughter was working on her genealogy for a class project. My brother wanted to know if I had our family records. (We have a cousin who has worked very hard on this and shared it with Dad.) I told him I did not have it. My Mom must have our family's copies. My wife told me Mom gave me the files. My wife put them away in the closet. She just got them out and gave them to me.

My grandfather's grandfather (My Great-great grandfather) was born in Steinbach, Unterfranken, Bavaria. That is not really that close to Augsburg. My Great grandfather was born somewhere in Bavaria but the records I looked at don't say where. My Grandfather was born here in Illinois.

The papers I have are a mess. I am going to have to look through them and try to clean them up. Put it on a software program. A lot of the things I have are handwritten notes my Dad made. I see references to Baden and Bavaria on census papers but I am not sure exactly what I have.


EDIT- I just dug down through all the papers and I see a tourist guide book for Augsburg for 1997-98. Dad was not in Germany in 97 or 98. I am not sure why we have this as it is printed in German. He could only read a little bit of German not this much. I know there is a connection so I will have to keep looking and see if I can figure it out. (Some other day.) 5:30 AM is way too close.

dfosterf (17h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (19h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (19h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (19h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (19h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (19h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (19h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (19h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (19h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (20h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (20h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (20h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (20h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol
Cheesey (26-Mar) : 2009? No thanks! One open heart surgery is enough!

Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Yes. That's the one.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
