Hi Brian M, I was just stating the fact of how researchers for hire work. There's a list on the Azores GenWeb. If they are busy, they may not answer you for a month either. And there's always the possibility of your message going into their spam folder. That's not terse, that's a fact that happens to everyone. Good luck!
