Rasle's Strongbox This image of a 290 year old wood, copper and leather "strongbox", taken from Father Rasle's camp in 1721, is shown here with permission of Maine Historical Society. Colonel Westbrook lead a New England force which had been directed to apprehend Father Rasle and take him to Boston.

Note the secret compartment, revealed in this photo.

We use 'Ahnentafel' numbering. Numbers for a person's parents will be twice as large as that person's number. For example, if a woman's number is 15, her father will be 30, and her mother will be 31. Her child will be number 7. Living individuals often show by initials for privacy
