All of which goes to show - always send your message as an ASCII text message but proof it before you send it, which includes spell checking and insuring all surnames are in CAPS. If you had converted your message to ASCII text before you sent it, any tabs would not have been sent because the HTML to ASCII conversion converts tabs to spaces. Also, the name Aaron Daniel BULLOCH would not have beeen displayed as it was in your message but as Aaron DANIEL BULLOCH. BULLOCH should have also been converted to lower case "Bulloch" and the word County added to it. That way, we would have figured out what you meant. I know this takes a little additional work on you part but it makes the message much more readible and reduces the chance of error. I see queries all the time were the sender stated that they were seeking information on their GGA Fannie and GGU Bill who lived in Osierfield but they never bother to tell the reader their last name and where Osierfield happens to be located. Now, most of us that are from GA may have heard of Osierfield but those who do not happen to live in GA do not have a clue where it is located. So, let's try to be as specific as we can on names, in this case Frances Ann BROWN (1860-1931) and William T. SMITH (1856-1927), and locations, in this case, Osierfield, Irwin County, GA. Parents and children names and the persons they married also help. That is, if we know the specific details. BTW, Osierfield is pretty close to both the Ben Hill and Coffee County, GA lines in the NE part of Irwin County, GA. And nobody, and I repeat, nobody, from that neck of the woods ever tells anyone they are from Irwin County (unless they happen to live in Ocilla, the county seat) and will instead tell others they are from "Fitzgerald," which it the county seat of Ben Hill County, GA. <grin> The reason is, that is their mailing address - Route #4, Fitzgerald, GA. Kind of confusing sometimes, isn't it. John R.
