Hello Barbara, There are several well maintained databases in France dealing with minor nobility. There are none, that I know, that deal with us ordianry folk during the 15th and 16th century. However, just because I am not aware of any that does not mean that my cousins don't. I shall email them and throw your searched for name about. In the meantime, I assume that you know of this site as it mentions Gideon a few times as being related to one of the webpage owners. http://www.geocities.com/rduggan2/krd-ahn.txt Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
