[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3856861, member: 111"]Thank you. I've an interest in heraldry (even designed several fantasy COAs many years ago for some friends into SCA/Ren Faires), and also love a nice engraving, so when I took a closer look, could see the birds were not ducks - armed with the proper terms, the de Louvencourt name came up a few times, along with the images of the coat of arms from the French village. Though keeping in mind that religious relics aren't exclusive to sainthood, even used my [I]very rusty[/I] French to slog through the book on Mademoiselle de Louvencourt, with its florid antiquated text, wondering if, since the title includes that she 'died in the odor of sanctity', it was written in hopes of having her beatified, but found no clear evidence of that. Took quite a bit of time to search and then organize what I'd found - probably could have spent the time more productively on my endless list of chores, but I enjoyed it... ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
