Metsi Families is available on CD-ROM from Quintin Publications, I think I
paid about $75 for it. As with any source it is not 100% accurate - I can't
remember which family I was looking at but I remember that her information
conflicted with PRDH.

So as usual it can be used a guideline but don't be surprised to find a few
errors.
