Hi Charles, Thanks. It certainly sounds similar. I suspect that the Surbraney I'm trying to place was given a family name/surname for her first name.....so common back then. On the other hand if she was Romanian that could simply have been a regular given name in that country. Maureen ----- Original Message ----- From: "C.
