Hi Larry, Thanks, I guess. I'm not sure I understand your feedback. When I visit your link I get the following result:
Found 1 results [ 0 ]: Lent, 1679 Medemblik, Nederland (52.7176239, 5.0727975) I think your last "address" could be the answer... The chance there is a street and a town with the same name in a community is relative small. I'm going to try that.
