[Vicky]

Mona, this is absolutely AWESOME! Can't begin to thank you enough!

[tamara]

I agree with Vicky but have come to almost expect such things from you! lol

What you do think of the translation and who do you think did them? What time frame. I know that you are well verse in the native language and can see that some are probably incorrect but of course are showing us what you see. Example would be makagi. This is the name of my ancestors and is Brown Earth. couple others as well. Tatewicuwa is of interest to me as well.. it is so cool to see the familiar names I look for.

Vicky-that is a fantastic photo. What a treasure.

Mona: I echo the others. You made some fantastic finds . Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
