Would like for any to review and note if any objections to sorting and "fixing" profiles to reflect this information. I am a direct descendent of both Norton Brothers and would like it straight in my tree. More work needs to be done. I think a Gedccom Match wrecked havoc at some time. Thanks for consideration and attention. Susanne
