Hello Nebraska!! Thanks to all who replied to my "dit" query! The answer was "lurking" there in the back of my mind, just needed my memory refreshed! Now, one other related query: in this case the "dit" appeared in a female name. For future reference, Does the "dit" carry on if the line is male? Is the guys son also XX dit XX? Again, thanks to all! I've always known that we Nebraskans are a great group of people!! Liz
