I am too old to learn French.And I am not really proud of my French heritage.

I met another cousin from the same ancestry who lives in New Orleans. He took the first old French book I found and was able to understand enough to get all the genealogy out. That book has the story of the Catholic/Huguenot wars that caused our family to flee France. I really wish I could find someone interested enough to translate it without costing me too much.

I don't know French. But I would be willing to try that for you at no cost. I would use babel fish. I would only be interested in helping on that end cause I'm third generation myself in America. Family was originally sharecroppers in Italy. I know how precious things like that are.

So you may enter babel fish or forward info to me for that. I all ready told you I personelly don't know the language. But you do understand the empathy of sentiment from me.
