Pat

I am assuming that you mean the fiefs ? That is the area of land presided
over by a Seigneur.

I understand that the definitive reference work on the Guernsey fiefs was
that published in the
Transactions of La Societe Guernesiaise in 1961 by A H Ewen.

you can get a reprint (ie. photocopy) direct from La Société by writing to
them at Candie Gardens,
St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 1UG. I'm not sure how much they would charge,
but from memory
it's not unreasonable.

If you want a quick lookup - I can do that for you - drop me an email
off-list.

Hope this helps.

Stephen
