databases with sibling information?

[Jessica Alexander]

Hi Cathy,

Thank you for your help. That sounds like a fantastic corpus, but I think
it's too complex for our goals. We may have to change the focus of the
project somewhat depending on what materials are available, but since I'm
working with an undergraduate student, we have to keep it fairly simple.

Thanks for the information. I've just been overwhelmed by the response I've
gotten from this community. Everyone has been so helpful and supportive!

Thanks again,
Jessica Alexander
