OS1/20/158/1 Thank you kindly for your input and advice. Have made corrections. Uncertain if "Meikle" is accurate with a k in it. Yep, the k is fine. Cheers Nora. Hi mcgwill, Thanks for reading them. Just continue in one column for the index, ignore format of the book ie the three colums. Yes it is a 8 on its side, you will see that a lot, and it is Frenchman, also Ross is just an ss not a j. There are some groups that wont let you link from the bottom of the page. Techies are also working on that. If you go to the forums and at the right hand side you will see counties in blue. Click on any one of those and it will let you enter a new topic. If you have any questions post them on the forum and one on the mods will help out. Nora-Mod. Have read faq and have found what I may have been doing incorrectly, but the forum will not allow me to post a question or concern. Am trying to follow your example but notice that it does not seem to be what I saw on faq as it seemed to state that everything should go in one repetitive line. If there is still something that I am doing incorrectly I welcome the insight. Have put "8" beside Freuchman's Rock but am uncertain if that is accurate.
