Thank you Mike I used the Google search engine and found a site that will interpret words from English to French and visa-vera and came up with about the same his parents were deceased so I took the meaning as that, but no address or occupation !! But still they gave me the wrong first name of Ellen by e-mail  so it was well worth the $4-50 + 78p postage !!!

I haven't heard from Ruth but which ever way it goes I will let you know what she say's  as I think we all like to know the ending of some thing.

Thank you Mike.

Susan.
