Listers -- This is in response to the post on 20 Aug from Duncan <duncan@louddogs.freeserve.co.uk> re: his surname interests, CHAPPLE in Devon and RIPP in London. I haven't run across these in Huguenot research (but, then again, it may have been because I wasn't specifically looking! <g>), but the following may be of help. Re: surname RIPP, the 1999 GRD lists someone who is researching this name in France and Germany. It's possible he may have useful information. His name is Robert Schlesier and he lives in California. His e-mail address is rschlesier@home.com. I could find no listing of anyone researching RIPP in London. Have you tried the London or Middlesex mailing list to see if anyone there can help? As for CHAPPLE, it's conceivable that it could once have been LA CHAPPELLE or something like that. There are several listings in the GRD for people researching this name in Devon. Specific locations mentioned are Exeter, Meavy, Dalwood and Offwell. Please contact me off-list if any of these are of interest. Regards, Andrea
