It never       occurred to me that the same combination of 3 names might not be unique       and the resources at my disposal at that time were limited. It was only       when I came to an apparent brother-sister marriage that I realised I had       gone wrong!              Of course, it turned out that 2 cousins were perpetuating family names       and the "brother-sister marriage" was in fact the marriage of cousins.              --       Jenny M Benson       http://jennygenes.blogspot.co.uk/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
