I know how you feel, Bjarne.
My family research hit a wall too, due to a language barrier and a
revolution.
My great-great-great--(forget how many greats) grandfather left France
in 1786 (3 years before the French Revolution) for Canada at the age of two.
I don't speak French, and even if I did the odds of any records
surviving the Revolution probably aren't good.
On the other hand, a cousin has traced my great-great--(again, forgot
how many greats) grandmother, Lady Anne Gosse, to 1660s England.
I think we have an SCA persona here! I can borrow her name and craft a
history based on the info my cousin dug up.
Michelle, seeing the cup half-full.
