If you want someone to join your list, Jim, it would be nice if you were cordial to others. Even with all those thousands of names, wouldn't your program change it to something easier for others to understand without doing each one individually? I finally figured out what you meant, but only because I've been doing my own genealogy and working with the local GenSociety for several years as well. I see people's records done many ways, but the simplest for others to understand is by far the best. Leave a space or two between some of the information, or perhaps a bit of punctuation, like semi-colons to separate one item from the next. I understood what the poster meant about US speak and UK speak, as there are some differences, such as how dates are written, and some terms that aren't exactly the same. Seems to me there was no slur intended at all, but a bit of humor/humour involved.......get rid of the thin skin, Jim! <VBG> This board is intended to help others, you know, not to put them down.
