it sure makes sense to me that Bodmin and Rodmin would be mis-read, especially when reading old papers and hand written documents!! I hope dona is alright...she sure has a lot on her plate to deal with!!

Hi Dona ....... if you want to let off steam .... this is the place to do it. Sometimes it does you good to have a hissy fit. Trix is totally oblivious of our last few comments ....... I don't know if you've read that she can trace her father's family back to 1005 ..... in France...
