That goes for me too: a new 'don-rosa' index will arrive "soon".

There have been WH publications. I listed all I know at home in a private
copy of our 'gladstone-disney.index' (I didn't have it put on ftp yet).
I'll send you an extract tomorrow.

Are there? I thought we were quite complete...

I don't think so.

Wouldn't that spoil a lot of fun? What would this information add to the 
tree and to Don's stories (except for the birth/death dates)?
