I believe that John still have all those proposal. And we hope some times that he will start with that part as well Sources are a part of that wish, but also the fact that the location can change it connection to the country doing years (war etc) and the fact that a location is not the same whether it is administrative or religious connected. So it is all around the world. It is also the situation that a location change name. e.g. the capital of Norway has during the years changed from Oslo to Christiania and back to Oslo again. All that could be identified with years and as you mention also with sources To make separate change, there arefacilites of File, Location to change gloobal on the location and under Lists you can make global search on parts of the name -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
