convinced of their mistakes when they would not hesitate to make a change. And
as ancient family chronology, the leading members of the Remy family were at
one time roman catholic and one of the remy men at an early date had been canonized
by that church as a saint but after the great reformation the leading members
of the family changed their faith and became intensely protestant”( He of
course was talking of the early French Remy’s and the Huguenots.) He goes on to
