Hi Mary, Thank you! It didn't take as long as you'd think, actually, (I used to be a secretary) and it kept me away from the housework for a few hours, which has to be a good thing. ;-) It's just some spare info from my own research; it seemed silly just to file it all away when some of it might be useful to other researchers. It's just a pity that you didn't find any of your own folks in it - fingers crossed for the next transcript!
