Three of us, Daphne Merril and I, have been working on an accurate version of the above survey. We'd be glad to make it available to the list, but would like to know the best way. I'd have contacted our "in charge" man, but didn't have his personal email address to hand, so, for better or worse the question is for all. We're working with Excel files which we find easy to use for comparisons, as we're working with more than one list, probably of different dates. Since we can't send attachments to the group, I'm wondering if the following format would be acceptable - it's a :delimited list which could be easily incorporated into a database of choice, if required. I suppose we could also send attachments separately, off list, but I don't want to burden myself or my colleagues in this endeavor. But it may be that there are only a few people interested, so sending to everyone in messages, is a waste of bandwidth. What do you think? Because the time period is so close to the French interregnum, there are quite a few French names which may be of interest to Philippe's group. (Dennis, I've not forgotten you. We're just trying to get the facts right.) There are quite a number of estates. I don't expect they could all be done in one message. Since there are 300 plus, it would be 20 messages of 20 a piece, approximately. What it would look like is below, but many more. Cod, sorry to subvert your authority by going directly to the masses.
