Hi Karen
I do not have a book on the La Rochelle.

What I have is a family tree book on the KUSS Family - The Kuss Kin. They
have two pages written by Ian Rohl, family member, titled "The Voyage in the
LA ROCHELLE". It tells of the terrible conditions on board, but is general
in topic and only mentions the doctors and the members of the Kuss family.

No address either of the authors or compilers.

Why oh why, when people do family tree books, do they forget the important
bits - who to write to with updates and to order more books, or to exchange
data with????

Thanks Karen for the lead on the Manthey update. I have arranged to pick up
a copy tomorrow. (I know the lady whose phone number you gave me!! - small
world)
