Hi folks

Sad to hear that Nick has died, I did some work with him a couple of years
ago - there seems to be a Nick in every country that has a strong
genealogical hobby/research base, certainly a couple in UK and one in
France, into just about everything genealogical.

Was Luther a Huguenot - well, obviously not. For a start he wasn't French
and he wasn't Calvinist so two out of two against ain't bad.

I think the 'was Jesus a Christian' analogy is the best one - course he
wasn't and neither were his followers, like Calvin and Zwingli, followers of
the Reformation, weren't Lutherans.

It's sort of like the people that invent the firework then light the first
blue touch paper and then stand there waiting for the fireworks - they may
be the people that invented the firework but usually they're too close or
dead when their followers see the final outcome 10 years on after somebody
invented the coloured bits to replace the big bang.

Well, that's how I see it anyway

fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ............
