Thank-you so much Monte! I wonder if you'd know why only two on the list are spelled Worke like my surname is spelled? And if the others could possibly be related . I understand that spelling was not exact through the ages as regards surnames, but all these names are a little overwhelming to me .In any event I do thank you for the interest and the help.
