Hi Gerry As these lists are not set up for having attachments (eg Scans) sent to the list. I wonder if you wouldn't mind sending just the link for the information for Neil Bell & Marion Campbell. thanks Ida gerry wrote: >Hi Ada >I just emailed 3 scans to the Mull list but the system is holding them up >because their is too much inf but they will try agian.If it does not work I >will type it out.These are the Bells in the Obt.you mentioned and i will get >in touch withJulie. >kind regards Gerry >
