No problem. :-) Incidentally , on the "Dallas" name problem trivia.: John Neely Brown is usually considered as the founder of the town in 1841. But he had several friends whose first or last name was "Dallas". But nobody knows for sure which "friend". LOL Dallas County is said to be named for George Mifflin Dallas, who was Vice President of the USA when The Republic Of Texas (1836-1845) was annexed as a State to the United States in 1845. But there is even some disagreement on this. Another story was that they wanted to name the County Polk for the President but that had already been taken, so they settled for the Vice President. LOL This has nothing to do with Titanic. The closest thing I have found was there might have been a family from Groesbeck, Texas who might have been passengers on the Titanic. [/QUOTE]
