Good Afternoon Gents!

I see that what we have been doing over at WIX is being mirrored here. Well Done! Just FYI and to avoid duplication of effort, I found and spoke with James Wyatt's nephew on Sunday afternoon. He has posted on the thread at WIX.

Matteo and Co. have a lot of work to do yet in the family contact area. That is not going to be easy. He really needs to get the IDPFs.

For the label on pic 14, you may put a sheet of paper on it and gently scrub with a pencil (with a dry coalmine)...
