Hello List It was with great interest that I read the various posting which begun about a week ago concerning Huguenots and Walloons in the Fens I resisted replying at the time as I was in the middle of already putting something together from the introduction to the Thorney French Register, which contains some historical facts and some lists of names I'm posting what I have put together, separately, as I am sending it to the Fens mailing list as well, just in case there are some names on the lists that give someone some new inspiration If anyone wants a copy of the introduction to the Thorney French Register - well you can't have it because it's copyright - but email me anyway and i'll note your interest (<g>, wink, wink,) and you never know, santa might just come a little early. The reason why I copied it in the first place is that I have a visual impairment and now that I have it in Word, I can much more easily navigate the document to digest all the information, which, I consider to be a reasonable adjustment within the Disability Discrimination Act (just for the record in case anyone thinks i'm being a naughty boy) At a later stage (and when I've finished writing it), I'll post a little article i've thrown together showing how I believe I am linked to the Hancar in the Sandtoft colony Regards David Anker
