Hello and thank you for your input. You may well be correct regarding the literacy issue, RC church was instrumental in keeping their people in the dark for as long as was possible. As for the Rene's Essence, no not from LDS, actually from a family website of the De Guise Dit Flammand in Burgundy.
Have a Merry Christmas or whatever you choose to call it in these politically correct days. ;-)
