Thank you, Carol Anne! Our Thanksgiving dinner is shaping up, for true. The two who have accepted so far are first cousins, of course, so we can assume they had some acquaintance - but maybe not, since both moved hither and thither a good deal. Of course, when the dinner list is complete I am sure we will find numbers of guests who are entirely new to each other - I like that - it's always good for spirited conversation. So come on in, dear Listers, and rustle up some family characters to join the party. How they would marvel at our modern kitchens and our modern selves! Truly mind-boggling, and fun to visualize. ++++++++++++++++ This seems like a good moment to send special congratulations to Carol Anne, who dug out all those bits and pieces about Charles-Louis in just the last year or so - having begun to search after finding a couple of bare references to a Charles L. Chiniquy in Nebraska. What a woman! (Carol Anne, not Charles L.) Best to all, Ginny
