Hi Michael (et al), Thank you so much for pointing that out! As Rootsweb keeps growing, new lists are added all the time. As one is added to cover a "variant", it is supposed to be removed from the list of variants that this list covers. Unfortunately I didn't do what I should have and submit the changes to make sure they went in, so I am in the process of doing that now. Without you pointing that out though, it probably would never have gotten fixed :) Thanks so much!

I have interests in both BARTON and BURTON and was just about to post these when your apparently telepathic message arrived! Regards, Michael Sprackling, Birkenhead, Merseyside, England.
