Hi Carole, Let me be the first to say you are doing a great job on this project considering the lack of solid documentation available to you (or probably anyone else). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- malisiak@midohio.net wrote: > Hi to all, > Regarding our ancestor, Odard, I have received several sources of > information to be checked out--as we have sources listing two different > fathers for Odard, it is necessary to check this out and eliminate one. I agree, and will help any way I can. Odard most likely had only one daddy and it would be nice to know who it was. While we are about it, maybe we can come up with a concensus on his approximate date of birth. I have dates ranging from 1042 to 1086, yet all the old documents seem to agree that "he came in the train of William the Conqurer" - whatever the precise meaning of that is. ---------------------------------------Snip------------------------------------------- > 1) From Robert Helmerichs, Ph.D., who has a professional interest in the > Cotentin area, who has written to me, <All the evidence that we have > about Saint-Sauveur, thankfully, has been summarized by Florence > Delacampagne, "Seigneurs, fiefs et mottes du Cotentin (Xe-Xlle > siècles): Étude historique et topographique," _Archéologie médiévale_ > 12 (1982): 175-207.> > > OSU library does not have volume 12--all the others, but not this one. > Is there anyone out there who reads French better than I do?

Yes, I'm interested and will help any way possible. I don't read French at all and live in a small town with no decent library within reach but if you figure a way I can contribute just let me know and I'll get it done. ----------------------------------Snip----------------------------------------------- > Finally, I note that someone had sent to Phyllis, Omerod's pages > regarding our family and I ask if they would be kind enough to also send > them to me? I'm not the one who sent them to Phyllis but I did receive them (pp 642-650) from Nicholas Blackhurst and will be happy to forward them to you privately since we must not send attachments to the List. Again my compliments on your efforts and wish I could be of more help. Dick Dutton
