A while back, I was transcribing BMD's, and doing surnames starting with H. I came across a few HGREEN's, and wondered what accent would put a H in front of Green. Yesterday, the penny dropped. Not an accent but a typing error, the H being next to the G on a keyboard. So if you can't find your ancestors under their starting Initial in records that were typed, have a look under the letter on either side of it on the keyboard, with and/or without the starting initial. eg. HGREEN, HREEN, FGREEN, or FREEN. and I guess if you still can't find it, have a look under the letters above and below your starting initial. We have so many weird surnames, who's to say what is or isn't a typo. Regards ..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ Robin -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

You may have hit on something there, Robin. That same theory probably also explains why New Zealanders pronounce an 'I' as a 'U" - the two letters are adjacent on a keyboard, and God made a typing error when he was designing the Kiwis. Regards Reid
