Thank you, Reid. I just keep learning and learning here.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Sorry Baggy have to give you a Yellow Card on the reply there.
My family name is not misspelled like that (&(^#@#&#%{%)&!@#(*^!_$*( ex-senator from Nevada.
My easiest traced Reed progenitor George was a POW in the Revolutionary War, bayoneted in the leg, paroled, and then went back to fight again - born in VA and served in NC.
I think the different spellings actually have to do with which side of the Scot/English border the lineage came from as most were situated along the line - unless they came out of Germany - which is a whole other thing.
Unintended as it was - this is why we have yellow cards before Big Red comes out. ;-p
