Thank you Mark that was great. Only two but one is a chap I have changed
from Private at least a dozen times, the other one is a new fellow. At

It actually hasn't been like this for years, ever since variable
spaced type fonts. Typewriters were monospaced. Today's computers
leave the correct amount of space so you shouldn't double space after
periods, etc.

I have been a typographer for 40 years and the only people I ever met
who used double spaces between words or after colons were badly trained
copy typists. And it has, of course, nothing at all to do with grammar,
but stylistic conventions, for better or worse.

What about producing a list of all people in the Search list.
Select print and choose name, birth, death
Export as a csv file
Import into Excel and create a column deriving age from the 2 dates
You probable want to exclude all people who don't have death dates.

Piatkowisko, Pabianice, Lodz, Poland
is actually just outside of Philadelphia, PA. Who knew! All the rest of my
