Jerry, Tell me what you know about your family as far back as you can. Also let me know what you think but do not know. Tell me which is fact and which is thinking. I will see what I have that might help you. Clif --------------------------------- Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web
