There were several posts recently on the family of Francois (Frank) and Melissa Hoffpauir. I collected all of the information that was available at this time, and assembled it into one file. Unfortunately, the mail list won't accept attachments of any kind, so I can't post this information to the entire list. I did e-mail it to several people, and one of them suggested that we really should try to make this available to everyone on the mail list. Well if you're interested in this family, here is how to get the file. Click on the address given here: http://users.ev1.net/~charlieh/francois.rtf With the RIGHT mouse key and then select the option of "Save Link As" (This is the wording in Netscape, it may be slightly different in your mail system) give the file a name and point to a convenient location to save it in. The file is of type RTF (Rich Text Format) which preserves much of the formatting to make the file easier to read. It can be opened by virtually any word processor, and then either read from the screen or printed out for convenient reading later. -- Charlie Hoffpauir Yes, there is a HOFFPAUIR mail list, hosted by ROOTSWEB http://web.wt.net/~charlieh/ http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/h/o/f/Charles-R-Hoffpauir/ http://www.parsonstech.com/genealogy/trees/choffpauo/thomas.htm
