Sandy, Thanks..... I can picture all that area much better in my mind.....my State Farm atlas was published by the `flat earth society'...... I also had a researcher in Quincy-Adams-IL that spent her winters in the court house were it was warm.......I think she found me 80 some odd HENRY KOCH's (most of them were hog farmers)......never have sorted out the correct one...... Sorry.....I have been offered `free rent' in China in November.....I want to go to northern Siam (Thailand) and stay at an elephant ranch were they have nurseries of baby elephants to play with. You can eat with them, bathe with them and play in the mud with them. Thanks again......looking foreward to hearing about the Indians in the area. jerree
