Thanks for all your help, Derek

Derek, I just had to add this. I think 16 months is a very long time to wait to come back to a thread to say thank you. Some of the people who found information for you are no longer members of this site, and probably don't remember the look up anyway. Perhaps it would be better for you to click on their names and send them a personal message (they will get an email from Genes to tell them they have a message), as otherwise they may not come back to the site to see your thanks. I hope you don't take offence at this, but requests are usually answered very quickly on this site, as you will see by the times and dates of replies on this thread. Kath. x
