Brenda, Thanks. I'd be glad to hear if she knows anything. Apparently the Roland AMYX I'm looking for had several illegitimate children. Also heard another possiblility for Troy's father as Andrew ELAM. Do you know anything about him? (I haven't posted that to the list yet.) I have a lot of ELAMs in my data base, but no Andrew.
