Dear Spencer,

What I was saying was not that the Godfrey/Geoffrey who married Beatrice
de Mandeville wasn't somebody's ancestral uncle, but that I thought that
the case for him being identical with deBouillon was as strong, if not
stronger, as the case for Godfrey/Geoffrey, the crusader, being the
ancestral uncle.

I apologize for obviously confusing you.
