I've gotten a lot of information on my family from them and I know of no one in our geneology who is/was Mormon. Find them at:<br />http://www.familysearch.org/<br /><br />I hope that helps.

Can you help me further or do you know someone who can??<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />MennoMennohttp://www.vanderhauw.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-40769460379035125252010-03-03T16:47:21.596-09:002010-03-03T16:47:21.596-09:00Ahoy, Timmy!

It's a certainty that Jean Bart was a butt kicker.<br />I also think he was a simple sailor and that "I'm at Versailles, I gotta wear drag" thing probably didn't sit well. That's why he's got his pipe, I'm betting.<br /><br />Plus Jean Leon Gerome was an incredible artist (as the link will show).Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-11491282721460161402010-03-03T16:36:11.343-09:002010-03-03T16:36:11.343-09:00Ahoy, Pauline!

I do think the painting of him at Versailles is pretty funny though. He doesn't look very happy. Maybe it's the outfit?Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.com
