My Dad's side is harder to trace as it's now part of Poland. It bounced
back and forth between Germany & Poland for a number of years. His
family had a common name and my great grandfather was one of 10 sons.

 RH> Amen.

So we're figuring Dad won't last long.

I know it can; I used the dutch oven tonight for sauerbraten. Steve
cleaned it up for me, as well as the other hand wash dishes. Had red
cabbage (home made) with it and matzo balls (from a mix that needed
using) with the sauerbraten and gravy--good eating and 3 more meals of
it in the freezer.
