Trying to find the meaning for Spes Et Fides and Allan askes me to pass the request on to you. Can you help? Dear L Whitaker: Allen, read your WebPages and I am quite impressed. I have always wanted to know when the Whitaker name was first recorded. Coming from a small family and my parents passed away at an early age. Since going on the internet I have been able to do some research myself. I am interested in knowing the English translation for: - Spes Et Fides-. Best regards, David Whitaker
