Surname Research
Each of us constantly tries to network with other genealogy researchers to exchange information and family group sheets, pool our resources, share our research data and find new leads. Another resource for you to check for networking is the "Surname Resources at RootsWeb" at http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/rootsweb.com
The main page is an alpha link to search established surname sites, so for example, I found a link to the Jung surname but not to the Seyfert surname, (two names of German ancestors that came to Wisconsin). Once you click on the surname, you are presented with a menu of possibilities to check, such as the Soundex code, World Connect Family Tree site, the Social Security Death Index, Personal websites, Projects, Primary records, Genealogy Lonks and Mailing lists. As you pursue the philosophy of leaving "no stone unturned" in your pursuit of the elusive ancestor, you should bookmark this site and periodically check for new leads.
Success in the research!
