Most of the questions here aren't stupid although some may be a bit
repetitious. <g> I had an instructor in the Navy tell me that the only
dumb question was the one I didn't ask. Someone else said the only dumb
question was one I already knew the answer to, such as "who's buried in
Grant's tomb?". Of course as genealogists, this answer to this question
may not be so simple -- (1) if it is a tomb, there might be more than one
person buried there, and (2) maybe it really isn't Grant. <VBG>

If I was independently wealthy, I sure wouldn't be hiring a big staff as I
wouldn't be wealthy for long. Or maybe I am wealthy after all being
retired from the Navy and living on a fixed income -- with no medical bills
(HA!!!).

Just glad I can help -
