You are correct, of course, Anne but the two Wikipedia articles, one on Angus and one on Forfar(shire,) don't make the distinction you so ably made in your other message. The two articles discuss the county, not specifically the town/parish (of Forfar.) In fact, if you enter "Forfarshire" as the Wiki term, you end up with the ship that sank in 1838 (or whenever it was.)

Forfar is a town and parish, and Angus, formerly called Forfarshire, is a county. Joining them together would merely add to the confusion. > > Anne > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

That may be, but in that case it is Wikipedia that is in error! > In fact, if you enter "Forfarshire" as the Wiki term, you > end up with > the ship that sank in 1838 (or whenever it was.) What more would one need to demonstrate the inadequacies of Wikipedia? Anne
