Listers -- as a follow up to the genealogy-specific search engine which I mentioned yesterday (18 Oct) -- it was www.genealogyportal.com in case you missed it -- here are four general search engines I use frequently. When you get on any of these sites, you can type in a name or a topic and see what turns up. The search engine will "trawl through" the Web for you, giving you a list of what it has found. Some of the results will be genealogically-oriented, but not all of it. This is just another way of digging up info -- whenever and wherever you can. As I said, *anything* is worth a try! Anyone out there know of any other search engines which are good? Anyone turn up something new and/or exciting via a search engine?

"The Parliament of Paris passed an interdict against the "hedge-schools (ecoles buissaonnieres) schools which the protestants held out in the country to escape the jurisdiction of the precentor of Notre Dame de Paris, who had the sole supervision of the primary schools. Hence comes the proverb: to play truant (to go to the hedge school - fiare l'ecole buissaonnieres)."
