This is very strange. There used to be (I think) 4 messages in this string, and now there's either one or two. There were 2 a few minutes ago, then when I looked at one of them, it went back down to one message. Refreshing brought it back to 2, then back to one. Weird. My message is lost, as Sue mentioned. Now, what did I say? Hmm.

I think I said that I couldn't answer Mark's question because I don't have the particular John Gelling he needs, or I'm not recognizing him.

Mark, it would help if you re-told us your story about who your John is. Also, how did you determine the exact birth date that you have, which is most unusual for 18th century.?
