Ali: Thank you for your comments. Now, a suggestion concerning your statement: "I too get very little information about my family from this site ..." You need to occasionally "remind" us of your quest by reposting your query. More than once I have run across information that related to a query I had forgotten about until I saw it reposted. And I am sure this applies to others on the SACKETT-L. In other words ... Be persistant !!
