Hi Elaine I presume the database is to contain definite information on migration patterns against which we can compare what we know of our relatives - ie no guesses, just authoritative information. I suggest we also add "source of information" to the database (could be author's initials with a key). Easier for people to do follow up reading. I still have a borrowed copy of Colpi's book from work (National Library of New Zealand). I can add some more information from it to your list before I take it back, but don't want to maintain the list. (Not sure if I'll get through the whole book. I can send the list to you as an html table or spreadsheet if you like - let me know) I can re-borrow the book at 2 days notice - it doesn't look like a popular item but may end up interloaned elsewhere at times. Anyone in NZ could borrow it from us through their public library. (You should be able to interloan a copy through your public library since it's a fairly recent British book You may have to pay a fee to cover costs) Something else I wondered about was making a list of surnames mentioned in it (but not the whole list of missing persons from the Andorana Star!) - and Colpi's visual history which has no index. I've checked listers' surnames in the index since I borrowed "The Italian Factor" but only have success with mine. However I could have missed some and there will be new members. Daphne
