Thanks Bob,  I take some comfort in knowing that others have had the 
same issue.  I'm glad to know that it's not something I'm doing wrong.  
How do you research theses people with more than one AFN?  Are you 
listing each number and checking each of them?  That's what I'm doing so 
far at least.  I'm open to suggestions though.

Cheers,
John
