Hi, If you would be so kind, I would appreciate a translation of the following French phrase quoted from the above copywriter article (see the caps): "One of the elders here, living at Oisemont, was David Des Marets, SIEUR de FERETS and in 1625 he represented the church." My family traces back to Ferets and this might be of interest to me. Thank you. Bob -- Robert H. & Doris A. Ferree P.O.
