Thanks very much, Bruce.  Actually this is quite interesting, these Lamberts appearing in this part of the region,  Portpatrick, Wigtownshire.  I'll post my detailed information later showing why I say this. Also can anyone guide me as to the proper way for me to "reply to a reply". When I hit the reply button for Bruce's message only his personal e-mail address showed up,  but of course I want the conversation on the D-G list, so I chose "reply to all".  Is this what I should be doing?  Also, is it best for me to delete text in the e-mail I'm replying to to save on space?
