Oh no Bill, PLEASE, nothing to aplogize for at all! Hopefully someone on the list has access to the census and can help you! The only reason that I mentioned the CD Lookup list is that your email reminded me to mention it. It can be a great help, esp. when you just want one little piece of information, and you want it NOW ;?) I have saved myself a ton of time and money by using these lookups, and the people are SO nice and willing to helP!! Again, its not a 100 % sure solution to a lookup need, but sometimes it can quickly answer a burning question! Helping each other is what this list is for, but its always nice to know other places to try to go for information too. Anyway, good luck. Hopefully someone will have access to the info for you.
