Hi Oliver & Capo
I agree with Oliver but I would like also to help Capo if possible. So, my proposal is to order for the Harmonie file when going to Vincennes in october or november and see what it contains. I could ask for a xerox copy before but my last experience on such occasion makes me cautious before spending money "in advance" when you don't really know what is really inside the file as sometimes you can be very disgusted, having paid for 2 or 3 dozens of copies to find that finally it is the same report sent to various offices and the reply they made (or not). Of course, staff in there can't make a selection for everyone, that's why now I would prefer to have a look before.
As far as I know there is not in Vincennes such a system of private searchers well introduced (like in Kew or Freiburg)that can make the job for you in exchange of money.
So we'll see in autumn. However Capo, as I said previously, you can order a copy of the file by mail and receive a xerox copy of "file 879,box 5". This would take about 1 month.
