[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 151943, member: 54"]Thanks again. I will look at pages MOS linked to possible low hanging fruit among the COA's pictured. I'm of half a mind to set my friend on that task for his cannon, I'm not charging him to do this. One thing I think I need to understand better is some of the prefixes/titles/whatever they are that I'm seeing. The para in Dutch I posted above gives a name as "MR Jacob van Foreest". I'm pretty sure the MR is not an abbreviation for mister as in English because few of the other men on the same list had that prefix. Anyone know? Similarly I'm wondering if the R in "J.R. v. F." isn't some part of a title or prefix despite how it occurs between other parts of his name. In Europe back when, a lot of that went on-first name-title-last name or office he holds.[/QUOTE]
