Hi all, when these kinds of queries come up its always helpful to
remember to  check out Tom Rice's great

"Shellers of the Past and Present"

database which can be accessed from the bottom of Guido Poppe's
"Conchology Inc" homepage.

 You might find that in many cases Tom or other contributors may have
created an entry for you under your name, too.
