When I looked up the original, she was listed below her husband, age 42, and the "11" turned out to be ditto marks under his age! Whoever copied the record had probably done dozens of them, was running on 'automatic' & just copied what was on the page without really thinking about it. Virginia "Virginia Beck" <ginia2@san.rr.com>
