I am sitting here laughing my butt off. Last week, I was visiting a friend of mine in St. "J", Vermont and during a French travel show, I told him that it was strange how so many of my French relatives came from Y, Somme, Picardie, France. I told him that it couldn't have been a religious thing (I'm Protestant) because they were all Catholic at that time. I said I will have to look up the history of Y, Somme, Picardie. Well, you seemed to have solved it but, now I don't know where they really came from.
Thank you for posting this.
