(With which they pester us?) Phil Wouldn't want to get caught with your participle dangling. <VBG> As for transcription errors, Ancestry definitely does not corner the market on that. Try working with a church index that was originally written in French between 1750 and 1850 that had been transcribed by a high school French class for extra credits. I had to spend almost of my free research time for three years going back to the original French records and redoing the baptismals, marriages and burials of my Page line.
