Hello List, I don't know about the name Josephine but while working on my other lineage of my greatgrandparents within the USA, Paterson/Patterson I came across the story of Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napolen Bonaparte whom married against the wishes of Napoleon Bonaparte to a Paterson/Patterson. Though the marriage was eventually nullified (!@##@!@) the children they had included the middle name of Napoleon Bonaparte. I assume it was to try and pacify the ruler..uh family member¿. Just an interesting sidelight. Regards, For I am a storyteller with a tale to spin.... Ezziej Bromwich BROMWICH SCRIBE --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
