Dear Roberto,
I hope you don't mind me calling you that, as affection from a 500 year young Knowflake.
That was pretty interesting info. Me thinks you definitely were a Frenchman before. See ?, I get these 15th, 16th , 17th, 18th century flashes of you, like I get flashes of Arizona too - the place of my childhood dreams - the 'wild west'. Have you ever wanted to do a past-life regression ?, which reminds me Knowflakes, have any of you heard of Leonard Orr ?, After Linda wrote about Physical Immortality, there were lots of questions, but who should I ask ? At the limited stuff we are exposed to in the Arabian desert (where there is only heaven and hell and judgement day, and re-incarnation sounds pretty absurd) there was virtually no chance of finding any answers. Then a friend of mine brought a couple of books from the States written by Leonard Orr, 'Physical Immortality', 'Rebirthing in the New Age' and 'Breaking the Death Habit' - so after all its slowly catching up and there is hope that one day all of us will crack that code.
Seamistress - yeah ! what a way to go.... 
Peace & Love
Olinda
