ok -so i had to open q up - this is another argument for running balances...and get balances from there - and compare transactions- as that was the only way i could reconcile back to 1998... i only have e- statments to 2003... and no paper statements from ten plus years ago... looks like a bunch of the same type of transaction (payee) all imported as payment rather than charge... so i had to go month by month for all of 2001 - then i was finally able to reconcile it up to today...
