You all are the best! I can't think of when I've gotten so many responses, so fast. Thank you! Probably the best info I got was this link: http://www.state.nj.us/health/vital/vital.htm . It doesn't answer _all_ my questions but I at least have a feel for the situation now. I'll summarize the answers I got later, but wanted to share this link for now. Happy researching, Janet Morris NJ: CAREY HART DOBBINS CULLIGAN HINCH KEARNEY * searching for Jill Flanigan who is also researching those lines and whose email bounced *
