Vicky,

I'd be delighted to hear from you about what you learn in your class.

As far as what I'm researching (or hoping to) and what I have to start
from:

   o Mother's side -- I have a history done by my mother's uncle of my
     maternal grandmother's line (Miller, which is of course pretty
     common) that traces back to Germany in the late 17th century.  This
     was done in the early 1950's; I'd like to put it into a computer and
     expand it.  Also, I have nothing on my maternal grandfather's line --
     Metcalf (English).

   o Father's side -- All I have is what I dug up in two days at the Mormon
     library while on a business trip in Salt Lake city -- from census
     records.  I've gone back with the Braun's, and with my paternal
     grandmother's family, the Heinen's, as far as finding my four great-
     grandparents on that side in the 1980 census.  They were in Minnesota
     (I forget the county name offhand, but it's near a small town called
     Melrose).  The census said three of the four were born in Wisconsin,
     and the other in Germany.  I haven't yet traced any of those back.
     (That Braun was John Braun.)
