You are welcome. I simply went to http://www.google.com/ and put in key words. You can put in several separated by a / .....like Decker/1800's/ NY and may get some interesting results...if no results, just keep adjust your key words....also when choices come up, click on "cached" and you will get the articles with your key words highlighted. Good luck.
