Not meant to be insulting to anyone, just explaining why I did not elaborate on
how to make an icon to run it no matter where one places it. Mine is on my
desktop. Maybe I should have replied to an earlier post in this topic.

I am aware that Bloch is a common name. My father grew up in Baden Baden,
Germany but unfortunately I never tried to trace back further. If you use Geni
you can find my full family tree there. My father's mother was an Oppenheimer
so it is quite large.

At least it wasn't a big insult :)

It's beginning to look like I might even recover...

Just playing - I do appreciate your response.

....Staying OT for a moment longer :)

I should really go to a genealogy site (or several) and try to track down
my roots while I live, but somehow I seem to just think of it as being too
long gone to bother with.

It does look like you and I have little likelihood of being related, but of
course there's always a chance that I'm wrong.
