All, The willingness of those on the Whitney List to share their information never ceases to amaze me. Nor does the depth and breadth of the information that is available. A simple question last night brought an answer less than five hours later, a second response soon after and a detailed lineage less than 12 hours after that first question. Robert and Allan deserve more thanks than we can ever give. I guess the lesson to be learned is to "pass it on." Thanks to all, Jon Whitney On Sep 25, 2007, at 7:35 AM, Robert L.
