They say:

Thank you for your informative response. As as a social science
professional, they use statistics more than other branches of
mathematics and short of going to the local U library, asking a question
seemed the easiest way of getting some informtion. They were struck
with the idea that it was rather odd to be posting "mathematical
geanealogical problems" and not have references to the source material
or ideas.

As they say......And all that kind of stuff!

In my case, the source of my mathematical genealogy problem was myself,
based on a career as a mathematics professor. In mathematics, sources are
sometimes actual individuals. Come to think of it, not only e-mail
messages but also many books and articles are written by actual
individuals, too! :-)
