List Members, I tend to agree that Hugh did not "jump" this cousin as jgreen thought. HOWEVER, the first time I posted to this list Hugh jumped all over me also and suggested I go to library and look up a few things. I personally didn't appreciate his foul humor nor his authoritative voice on this list. I mean afterall, isn't this a search list for French families? Someone explained to me that Hugh was all bark but I still thought he should be set straight that some folks just aren't ready to write or think the way he does, but DO have information to share. My 2cents.
