Hi Gaila & Jim,

>Saubia-Land only lasted a year or two as a country, now being the state of

 Hi Susan
 It seems to me I have seen several of your names mentioned (similar
 surnames) on the SCRoots list.  You would be able to check the digests.
 There has been a fair bit of research on the Hugenots and I believe
>Bonnet
 was a Hugenot family name.
 Good luck,
 Gaila
