"la burel" in france was owned by one of our ancestors-but i don't remember which one-i'll look again and let you know. if you'll email me at my aol address above i can send you link to the "la burel" website. and i won't be traveling there anytime soon on my income and my parents already sent me to france once for my senior trip-i don't think they'll be paying for a second trip-maybe in a few years i'll try to go-lisa mentioned going to there to me the other week.
