Cousin Bob (in Tacoma), You hit the proverbial nail right smack on the head -- as usual. As for curly-ques after the "l" ... I've been of that persuasion for many years. I am nearly certain that is where the trailing "e" originated (at least in our genealogical strain). I trust all the subscribers will print your paper and FRAME it! Great reference and thanks.
