Michael, where do we go next? Is there any way we could as a group pool our resources and try to get to the bottom of this French/English thing? Has anyone ever written to Cambria, France or any of the other sites to see if there was any record of the Poschets that rings true? I suppose all of this has been done long before this.......Too bad.....Ginnie

I agree about pooling resources! And we certainly have the top Posey researcher here on the list -- Rick Saunders from Salt Lake City. No doubt there are other good researchers among us and together we might just get somewhere. But I don't agree about there being a "French/English thing" to deal with. You see, if we stick to genealogical fact, we don't even have an English thing to deal with yet, let alone a French one! France just isn't in the picture unless a record pops up leading us there. And that has never happened yet. If we stick to the facts, we probably do have an English thing facing us, since that is the only country the records of his life lead back to. And of course that is nothing more than mere transportation to America. Who knows where he came from?! But we'll never know if we don't throw out all preconceived notions. Even more importantly, we have to stop dead in our tracks with all of this trying with all of our might to "keep him French". A lot of folks are trying to find a way to keep him French instead of facing the facts. > anyone ever written to Cambria, France or any of the other sites to see if > there was any record of the Poschets that rings true? To be honest, I hit the delete key on the POSCHET fairy tale file a couple of years ago and I've never looked back. The Poschets are, to me, irrelvant to the issue. Problem is, we don't know who IS relevant!<g> Wish I had more to offer, but I don't know any more than anyone else, probably even much less! Sad state of affairs, huh? Michael
