Tessa, Actually, I did get inspired and began to clean up my location list. I still am not sure that it will work for what I need though. For one thing it will give me every person, not just each surname. I guess I can manually do a list from that, but not a very elegant solution.
I will see, once I get the location list cleaned up (if I live long enough).
