Edie, Hello, and welcome to the list. Have you been in touch with Geraldine who manages the Ryerson list? ([email protected] to subscribe). She contacted me when she saw this new list and mentioned the Holland Adriance connection with Ryersons. My instinct tells me that some ADRIANCE's would have become ADRIAN's...as your instinct is probably telling you too. But I don't know anything about the ADRIANCE name beyond what's been shared in the last few days. Does anyone else know these names?
