Fw: Sinclair surname



Forwarding this e-mail I received. I can't be of any assistance to Dinah,
but thought maybe someone on the list might be able to help her or connect
to her line from Shetland.

She isn't on the Sinclair list, so could any replies go directly to her
mail address please.

Thanks
Ann Geisler
