I too, handle all my queries manually. I frequently get people who send the same query every few months. Do you get that too? I don't know why these people don't check the query index that I meticulously prepare. I go ahead and post the indentical queries, as it's as much trouble to get into a conversation with them about how dumb they are (I don't mean that) as it is to copy and paste the query. But I do link all same name queries together, so hopefully these guys will someday follow the links and see how they look LOL Robin Hoff Kaspar Volunteer host, Grant County, Wisconsin WIGenweb http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigrant
