Great! Just what I'm looking for  ! ! ! Thanks Myrlene. Really would appreciate input from more folks too. Thing is . . . . 1) there are so many ways to make my own errors - like typos 2) there are errors in the book - how many ways can you spell Nesbit and Louisa? 3) one clerk corrected another clerks entry - who was really right  ? ? ? 4) all those dang initials  ! ! ! 5) Hanna - now that Wilma said it is Farra, I can see that! I catch my errors all the time.  You wouldn't think Crouch could be mistaken for Arnold or Leowich, but I did.  Every time I go back go back over the book, I am more acquainted with quirks of their handwriting (  S - T - L were my most common early errors). Some fella's capital S changes - Sabbath, Sarah, September - even makes a difference if it is in the beginning or middle of a sentence, or if is the 1st or 2nd initial of a name. One holiday is behind us & next one is coming. Good time to re-read book and send me your input!  - - please.
