    1. [ILSTANNE] Translation problem
    2. Jerrian D. Barsness
    3. Hi list, In a French Canadian book on ancestors, it says a person was paid 50 livres a year for a salary, and someone else was fined 200 livres for an assault charge. Livres translates to books. How can a person be paid or fined in books? How much does that come to in American money? I know that is a dumb question, but I really would like to know. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Jerrian
