OldMeadonian, how are you getting the certs.? By the way, there used to be an organisation called the Society of One Name Families. If you have an unusual name you can register with them, if they don't already have someone with your name, and they give you certain faciilities, I think. You have to agree to help anyone else enquiring with that surname, as one of the conditions. I don't know all that's involved, or even if they are still in existence? I had the help of an experienced historian who was a mine of information. Great!
