About the other question - I have referred that to Carol Anne and GFSSuzzane. In my own researches, I could not get the PRDH to let me enter an inquiry for the surname alone, a monumental frustration. I hope there is some way to do it that I just could not figure out. P.S. But if you do not have the correct given name on an individual, refer to the PRDH page on frequency of given names and work your way through the list from most- to least-used, combined with your target surname.
