hello again - sorry, but i forgot to ask in my previous post...my great grandfather's occupation is given as "express messenger". does anyone know what that was, or is? also, after his wife's name, it lists "W, F, 30, Wife, K/H, NC, NC, NC". i know what the codes are for up to the "K/H". what does that stand for? thanks. julie thames howell, jax, fla researching surnames: THAMES and DUDLEY
