Harriette,
When you get the chance, go ahead & send me the Obituary list, as I have no
limit on my ISP. If it is only 130 K, it will not cause any problems.
As you probably noticed, I forgot to indicate my name on the first request.
How forgetful I can be at times. Please send the attachment to:
Thanks.

Be glad to. It's about 130K. Let me know if your ISP has any size
restrictions.

According to Harry Hoisington, the Hoisingtons were originally from
Jutland, which is part of the Danish peninsula. I'm not sure how to take
that, as he was also talking about the Hoisingtons having as much right to
a descent from the Gods (in this case Horsa) as the English kings.
Personally, I'm not so much interested in being "divine" as finding out the
truth. Guess my part of the Hoisingtons are a little too down to earth to
take much stock in that. Comes from going barefoot a lot, I guess.
