Ok, thanks. It sounded like it had been an acronym that someone was trying to research as a surname. I once did that. In some old notes, I found "Antiochem" which was in the slot for surname. I researched and researched and never found anything. Finally came to the conclusion she was buried in Antioch Cem. Go figure. Thanks again. My best to you in your research.
