First of all, let me apologize to the Olsens if they think I am "picking" on them. (GRIN) I assure you, I'm not. It's just that this is a perfect example of why users should make SURE they change the Subject: line when they reply to a message, ESPECIALLY to something from a Digest. You left the Subject: line as it was in the Digest you received. Anyone looking for subject lines just might skip this and delete it. You should have changed it to something like: EDWARDS, John, James, & Matthew Edwards; Cornwall, England>Mich., USA; 1831 Not only would you have told other users something about whom you are researching, but you would have given enough information for them to have been able to "zero in" on your specific name/lines. Remember, if you forget all else, try to make good subject lines and always put the SURNAMES in CAPS. Regards, SgtGeorge George W.
