Hi Merle, Yes, I remember Niram or Adoniram. We looked for them a couple of years ago. You might already have a lot of the info, but let me take another stab at it with the notes that I now have. Maybe someone else might see something. Would be interesting to compare with what you have. OK, let's start with my favorite, Nelson's research.
