Doug, Les has been in touch, thank you very much. We were about to swap notes on our Swedish and French connections - Hilda STRANDQUIST and Jean Francois PIRESSE (aka Frank PERES) when the gremlins took over. If you'd like, I can send my mum's - Lorna May - siblings and their families information to you. Lila is not actually into genealogy, more a collection of family stories, (for want of a better description) Helga, Takura.
