Good Evening Jimmy, Some years way back there, I had to put my research aside because of my work. I sent all my letters from Louise Dedman to HJoyce to use in her Shannon Searchers. I feel that this really helped a lot of people in their research, and really feel good about it. The two books I referred to are Dexal Shannon's "Shannon (Circa 1700 to 1981)" and "Shannon (Circa 1571 to 1990)". Mike
