Of course, I don't do any genealogy - so that may contribute to my ignorance. But, to tell the truth, I don't bother to read any messages which are constrained to all lower-case letters. Too much of a hassle. However, I don't have the same "attitude" toward all upper-case correspondence (although many others do). I assume that it's a visual matter, the ease-of-reading larger letters <gr>. In conclusion, Liam.....I'm afraid that I'm of no help to you in this matter, whatsoever.
