I get the drift of what you are saying. Thanks very much. I have some idea of what it means to do archival research for many years in the type of data you are dealing with. I also understand that the same archival material is not available I believe for the last 20 years. I would appreciate it if you could post for the benefit of this list references to your own or other peoples best research on the topic where a fuller nuanced and more accurate account is available. Thanks again.
