Good morning

Thank you for your kind message -- and you're English is very good, much better than my French.

Yes, it sounds as though there is no connection, as my relatives were named IRELAND, and the registrar wrote this as ILAND by mistake. But Peter Donovan in Sussex, England is a real Iland and is doing research on the name. So far, he has found a few people in USA, Australia and Eastern Europe, so this ties in with your own experience. I have lost touch with Peter but you can find him on the web.

So you are from Belgium. I have Belgian ancestors who were driven out in 1565 -- they were Walloon protestants and settled in Norwich under special licence from Queen Elizabeth !.

Best regards for the holiday season.
