Oh dear - another one who has to have the last word. How pathetic.
Leo is one of the most generous and collegial contributors to this newsgroup
and his Genealogics website is magnificent and the information freely given

So just buzz off and leave him alone.

Leo: Go ahead and "prick" and "assume" all you want, but you still don't
have a clue as to what you are talking about. If you can't remember what was
in a thread you'd be better off to either look it up or forego your urge to
post. Now, I'm done with you, so fly away you pesky little gnat.
