I thought the Addams family were created in the 1930s.

Make that "c. 1932", if you're talking of the former Australian Governor-General's birthday.

Not a clue! (I think there was a teacher at one of my schools whose surname was "Grant", and while teachers might seem a little old-fashioned, 1632 is a bit older than I had in mind.)

I would certainly hope so! (Though I suppose the the first park might not have come before the first civil war.)

Not in the least. Michael, one thing about your posts is they often seem very apropos of nothing. Could you include a bit of context from a previous posts so we know what's happening? Also, I have no problems at all with changing the subject header, but my current mail client only threads messages based on their subject, so perhaps you could do something like "OT: Family roots? (was: (old thread subject))", replacing "(old thread subject)" with whatever the old thread subject was. -- Tristan.
