Carol dear, be patient. Mara French usually does this but there is serious illness in family etc so she will be out for a while. Someone else is taking over, a relative I think. The charts do exist and are many. I have many of the newsletters that thye used to do but because of whatever it is with Mara, is hold up. maybe they are gone for the Holidys and will be back. There are several people that have and are doing the charts. Its a Big job as thousands of GFrench name. They keep adding when branches come to light to make it neccesary. I may have some French in a notebook on a shelf. Redo your message and put it in Family Group form with dates, places and events you have and I'll see if I can get to the newsletters. Also have you been to this site?? www.WorldConnect.rootsweb.com Go there and put your French name in and the first name and check list and go , go, you can bring up any thing with a line under and also see descendency's . Just click in the place. You can just click surname and will get names from A to Z on first and may be too many for you to check.

No one will reply about them! I am beginning to think they are figments of someone's imagination! Does any one out there have them?? Do they really exist? Does one have to be of Royal lineage to see them? Or can any peon, like me, know where they are? Are they hid away? Are they in some vault hidden from the world until the time is right to unveil them? I also would like information on joining the French Association, but there again no one has got back to me about that either. Guess I am a lowly red headed step cousin. Carol H.
