	Rodney Please make sure you have permission to add any info from other peoples trees. People on this site have been accused of 'stealing' because they have used info they have been allowed to view. Also, are you sure the other person has researched their family really well? It could be they have added any names that seemed to fit without checking with certificates, Parish registers etc. You don't want to set off with the wrong set of rellies! Good luck with your research. Helen
