Mary,
Many thanks for your account on how you were able to put the Kalender to good use. Such feedback is a reward for undertaking such a project. It should be noted that the abstraction under went through several stages of development until the final version prepared by Karen Peston which contains the complete contents and is available on a CD.

Dave, I have been meaning to tell you for so long how much I appreciate your work on the Kalendar and on the ship lists. My Banaters went to Elizabeth, NJ. I discovered from your ship list that my great- grandfather's youngest brother came here to visit him once -I never knew that. From the Kalendar I learned that my grandmother and her sister were actually from Kleinsanktpeter, not Kistelep, which was on the ship manifest. This knowledge came in handy when the Kleinsanktpeter FB became available. I now know details about my mother's family that I probably would never have found out, except for your work on the Kalendar. It was also fun to see my grandparents' friends in the Kalendar, where they lived and where they had come from. I can never thank you enough for doing all that work and sharing the results the way you did. God bless you.
Grateful forever,
Mary Regan
