Sherry, you may not have noticed, but Gerry's message was posted 3 years ago, and I don't think he visits here anymore, so it's unlikely that he'll see your message. I remembered he also contacted me directly, so I ran a quick search through my E-mails and found that he had also posted a message to my Guestbook in 2001 (http://www.warsailors.com/guestbook.html - scroll down to Oct. 29). In that posting I found the URL to his website www.savethetale.com - however, as you'll see, it doesn't work anymore.

You could try 2 things - click on his name in one of his forum messages above - that will enable you to send him a mail (though of course, he may not still have the same address). Another thing you could try is run a Google search using keywords like Save The Tale or similar - perhaps his website is still online with a new URL.

Having said all that, I see now that your query has to do with Genealogy, not the ship General Ruge, so he probably won't be able to help, but still....
