At the very least it gave me something to chew on, that I had had no reference point to use before. Which reminds me of the 'fact' of checking one's facts. I once had a person who gave me a lineage that went way, way back. I asked them where they got said info. 'here and there' was the answer. I only took as truth, what they had legal documents as proof for - figuring as with the site mentioned above, it gave me at least a foothold on the past, I'd not had before. I agree with you Chuck - caution is the watchword. Tim
