Hello Tonny and whom it may concern

Some german researcher told be, that the Walloons have been tolerated by the
French as colonists in the area close to Calais. This is interesting,
because it could explain family connection between the Calais-people and the
ones from Hainaut and Artois. Have you ever heard about that. He ment, that
there was a lack of people in the Calais area, and that should be the reason
why, Walloons were accepted as colonists untill in the end no Calvinists
were accepted anymore. Have you heard or seen anything, that might confirm
this explanation.

It must be very interesting to look into these not-used-before materials.

Friendly greetings
