(Ed's Note:  Every once in awhile, a genealogist gets a kick start in his research effort.  I've had a few since I started.  The first two were the handwritten genealogies of the Resch and Kestel ancestry covering their arrival in America through 1942.  Another was my subscription to Ancestry.com and their indexed databases.  And just recently I received an e-mail from Alfred Piwonka of Germany concerning my inquiries into the Paha ancestry in Bohemia prior to 1890.  Unnoticed by me upon first reviewing this e-mail was a file attachment.  A few days later, I noticed it and to my pleasant surprise, Alfred had sent 10 generations of ancestors for Anna Paha.  The report format suggests an output from a family tree program, and upon further review, the surname Piwonka appears in a second marriage to Johann Gill, entry 6 in the document.  I've color coded some of the earlier entries to detail family bloodlines easier.)
