I fully realize that my original question was, if not off topic, then a little out of (geographical) bounds for some of the Lists that I mailed to, but the response has been truly amazing, I even got an e-mail from the President of the Australian Huguenot Society, so my special thanks to whoever it was who forwarded my query to him. I've sent a personal reply to many who wrote to me- but the number keeps growing !!! So I hope those who haven't heard directly from me will accept a group 'Thank You'. My kind regards to all, John. www.plesterfamilyhistory.org _________________________________________________________________ Do you have a story that started on Hotmail?
