Hi, Denis, I don't know the answer to either question. Sorry. Welcome (back) to the list, though. My family roots are in the Magdellan Islands, Quebec. I visited there about 2 years ago for the first time, and Turbide is a very common name there. I'm just curious if you or your ancestors are from that area. cheers, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
