Thanks for that, it may come in useful some time when I'm looking for some of my elusive family.

Hi - not a prob. It's quite a good site - I entered a few names to see what happens and all sorts come up.
One of my ggf's nephews owned the Supreme Brooklyn Pet Shop Emporium (great name!)...so I'm hoping they'll start phase 2 soon.
