Wells, Not ignored, do you really want dozens of e-mail messages saying "sorry, I can't help you"? I am a newcomer to this list, but have been on several others for some time. Mostly, you will get responses from folks who can help you or those who need help on the same surname. Since I am a "newbie" to this list, I have no idea what surnames you are searching or where in the co.
