Hi Shirley,
I found your name and email on genealogy.com and I saw that you were in a discussion with some people that had Aegidus Bentz as the brother of the rest of the ones that were in my tree.I did write to them, and to the owners of the trees on ancestry.com and I left a note on their trees.So far you are the only person who has answered my email.Thank you.I do not mean to imply that you were the person who put this up.I was just wondering who did and if they had any proof.I went through the records again of that time period in La Wantzenau 1817-1833 and only found the children that I have listed.I even looked to see if the Bauer woman had a child out of wedlock and she did not as far as I can tell.If you have any future contact with the people that have him listed, could you please pass my information on to them.This seem to be a big error and I have seen this done before.Someone finds a tree online and it seems to fit their family, they copy it without checking and then other people start to use the information as gospel.
I don't know if you are aware of the civil records site online that has all of the towns and actual pictures of the records.This beats having to spend money at the Family History Center ordering the films from Salt Lake.The site is

If you ever find any more information I would appreciate you letting me know.
Thank you again for getting back to me.
