Beryl, Forgive me for being ignorant but is the IGI site the Mormons latter day saints site. If not could you give me the address please. If it is the same then yes I've been there and done that.

Hi Carrie, Have you tried the IGI site? I've found it very helpful. I don't know about the other places you mentioned. If she was doing it without a computer then it's possible that she was writing by snail mail. There's a lot more opportunities on the computer.
