Hello Thanks are being sent by me to those of the List who answered the call for data source of name changes which apparently does not exist anyway. I have no intention of changing surname - just wanted to know about the likelihood of an ancestor who we believe has changed surnames along the line, being traced through another source. Many thanks to all John _________________________________________________________________ Add your Gmail and Yahoo!
