Tom,

I was looking for something and a link to this post came up in the search. I hadn't read it before and stopped to check it out - putting an early end to what I was working at. Very, very interesting read (the entire publication, actually - not just the articles specific to Old Believers). As always, thank you.

Many years,

Neil

Very useful. Thank you.
