John Helmut Merz This is being posted to the list in response to your comments. Place names spelling are irrevelant because whenever anyone who immigrated to America, is likely to have the names spelled phonetically rather than ACTUAL spelling to the English listeners and writers. And number one rule - don't criticize! Be polite in helping and do NOT criticize. Most of the subscribers do NOT have their spelling checkers in use at all the time. I don't. W.
