Yes we are preparing CD-ROMs of the Births, marriages and burials, first
of 1621-1765, then of 1766-1799 (or 1621-1799?).

But we also have the firm intention of publishing a Jette type
Dictionnary for the 1621-1765 period (the family reconstitutions are
pretty much completed, but remains some verifications and some unresolved
cases. Names must also be standardized and various editorial decisions
have to be implemented). For various reasons, the horizon for this
Dictionnary would be 1998-1999.

And we also have the marriages of 1766-1799 pretty well linked into
genealogies. I am flirting with the idea of publishing a 1621-1799
repertory of linked marriages (all couples with the list of their
children who married before 1800 and all marriages with a reference to
their parent's marriage...)
