Hello Etienne (living in Alsace) >From Janice (living in San Dimas, CA) I will most certainly be patient...and thank you HUGELY in advance for your help. : -) BTW to all I do not recall anyone mentioning school records as resources for our anscestors, were there such documents? How and where were the children taught their lessons? Also, THANK YOU to GENE for his discussion about names - I discovered that my GF and all of his siblings appear to have been named for Saints. Did not know this before... Janice >By the way, several list members (Lynda, Janice, Frank, Cari, and others) >are awaiting a response from me. I'm currently very busy workwise. Sorry >and thank you for your patience. >Have a nice Sunday, >Etienne >living in Alsace
