Hi Patricia, Jim and all those confused! I'm unsure as to how the message you mention Patricia made it's way to the list but I have written the submitter to try and come up with an explanation. Thanks Jim for your info on how the list works. It takes some weeding of messages but sometimes that work brings a great harvest of knowledge about our ancestors.
