Dear Jean: Thanks for the onfo on how to gather some info on Boutcher, etc. I will give it a shot. I know we had some contact a while back, but I seem to have gotten sidetracked! As a sidelight....I live in Cajun Country in S. Louisiana, which is very French in culture. In fact I have a lot of French heritage and had two grandmothers who barely spoke anything but French. Wouldn't it be something if "Butcher" would actually be "Boutcher" after all. Some of my friends call me "Boucher" which is really French for "butcher," Regards and keep in touch. Tom Butcher
