    3. Hi All, Ready for some Wynne scandal? Check out the latest issue of The New Yorker (Aug 18& 25 -- double issue) --- p. 68, "Love in Venice" by Andrea Di Robilant. The author tells the story of finding long "lost" corresp of an ancestor, Andrea Memmo, to Giustiniana Wynne in the late 1700's. Giustiniana was the dau of a Richard Wynne of the family told about in Fremantle's 'The Wynne Diaries', and the story of her affairs (which included Casanova and became the talk of Europe) is also in the Diaries. The connection to us is that one of the few Wynnes known to come to Va., Thomas Wynne, was an uncle to the above Richard Wynne. My John Wynne line is seriously looking at this Thomas as our immigrant Wynne. Not sure I want to be considered kin to these folks, tho. Myles Johnson
