Hello Laird: These postings have given me answers to questions that I had not thought of posting because I didn't know the place of origin for the vital records. It also gives me an idea of the larger picture of the relationships between the different names (as in making them contemporaries of each other). I am at times too focused on the smaller picture and forget the large ones. If someone makes a different mailing list for this type of post I wouldn't be adverse to the idea. I would just hate to lose access to something as valuable to this type of posting.
