BridgetM, thank you very much, that's the fella.

I have so few non-UK connections that it doesn't make an International sub worth while. Without kind people like you, I'd be lost.

Olga Cummings Murison <- what a wonderful name  :D

 :o  :o  :o

I am speechless. SO much information in those Anc posts. I really should add Anc boards to my default search routine.

Thank you.

Anc indexes indicate there maybe a 30A for Olga but I'll stick that in a separate request.

Hello Mongrel Nation:

This is my first posting and I may not be doing it right. 

I read your postings from July 11th to July 18th about Samuel Findlay Bell who was born 1900 in Saltcoats and who left for Canada in 1922 or 1923.

Will you contact me please?

Thanks,
