While searching for some medieval ancestors on the internet I came across two websites that might be of wider interest. The first is Wiltshire County Council's "Wiltshire Community History" site which notes "We are currently adding the full text and illustrations of over 70 key early works on Wiltshire". They offer an on-line search facility. http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/ Among the books is "**Annals & antiquities of Lacock Abbey, by William Lisle Bowles, 1838", which contains information on the early earls of Salisbury and the Book of Laycock. It can be found at: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/textimage_search.php?book_no=010 The second site of interest (in French) is "Gallica" from the* *Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, at: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ * One particularly useful work is that of Anselme de Sainte-Marie (Pere Amselme), "Histoire généalogique et chronologique de la maison royale de France, des pairs, grands officiers de la Couronne, de la Maison du Roy et des anciens barons du royaume...". http://gallica.bnf.fr/notice?N=FRBNF36404917&UC=o Happy surfing, Walt O'Dowd Rushmere St Andrew Suffolk *
