Thanks Markus!  Now I'm getting somewhere.  v.info shows geo and new_geo 
in perfect correspondence for areas, islands, boundaries, etc.

d.what.vect shows new_geo with the original data in layer 1 and the new 
data in layer 2.  v.to.db successfully transferred the centroids (coor) 
and area to layer 2.  However, I still don't see how to get the 
surficial geology column (surgeo) out of layer 1 into layer 2 without a 
join item.  I know I'm missing something simple, but v.to.db just seems 
to allow a restricted set of values for option.

Thanks, Dave
