Hi Debbie

As you know, I have more than a passing interest in your research as I've
been searching for LARGE people for you for ages now.

I think that the Irish researchers are talking large amount t of nonsense.
The chances of LARGE becoming GRAND or LEGRAND are really stretching
things - in my opinion, sorry, no pun intended. I think that it's much more
likely to be the other way round with LEGRAND being made GRAND or LARGE - if
you were called Pierre le Grand (Peter LARGE) I think it's much more likely
that you'll get called LARGE in translation, working the the Epaule/Shoulder
theory. I may be wrong there but it's unlikely to have the name change the
'wrong way round' if you see what I mean.

There is a French politician called LANG with no E, could always drop him a
line .............

I can never remember whether you are a subscriber to Hug Families - there
are two recent editions which specialise in the pensioners in Ireland, the
Hug Soc's ongoing military project and the like - email me if you are
interested in copies.

As ever

regards

Tony Fuller
