I will be working on writing the story of the fire and the theories of what happened to the children. I will post interesting facts about the case here and my experience through the process.

Hi,
I found your blog on the Souder family, and first, wanted to say that I have been fascinated with this story ever since I first read about it. Well, not fascinated. That's not really an appropriate term. Very interested, and have followed along all the stories I could find, etc. Anyway, I'd be happy to help you with your project, if you still need help.
The second thing I wanted to ask you about, is, because I have been doing genealogy for over 20 years, I saw your last name of Bandy, (my mother's maiden name) and wanted to write and see if I could find out your Bandy lineage. My own Bandy lineage has been a wreck trying to follow, unlike my husband's Bishop line- they have been a breeze to research compared to my own lines. Anyway, I just wanted to write, and see if you know anything about how far back your line in the Bandy's goes, and to let you know I'd be happy to help you in anyway I can with your undertaking. I fully support what you are doing, and I have a lot of my own opinions about the case. I do this on a regular basis, networking for missing people, etc. Have been for years now.
If you see this and reply, I'll get you my contact information. Thanks again.
Hello, my name is Melody and I just heard about this sad story for the first time. I am new to researching family history as my family disowned my mother. I would love to help you. These parents loved their kids and wanted them. Had your family done DNA testing? So much information can be found out now that maybe was not available when this first happened. I'm praying that you find answers. Melody Meyung
