Hi, This is very helpful - thanks so much. To tell the truth, I do find this site a little daunting to navigate. I was unable previously to locate this listing on my own but your reference code lead me directly to the information I was after. I will keep in mind your suggestions. Right now I am transcribing another parish but this will now be top of the list for the next project.
