Subject: Alfred von Kowalski-Wierusz
For an unconnected colleague: Can anyone provide information, or
sources of information, on the painter Alfred von Kowalski-Wierusz,
whose dates are roughly 1850-1915? He painted the immensely popular
"The Lone Wolf"--copies of which must have hung in almost every home
in the midwest during the first half of this century.

A number of years ago I read an article in the Denver Post about the
problems of a Breton nationalist who wanted to give his children
traditional Breton names, but couldn't because none of them were on the
list of names permitted under French law.
I can't vouch for the validity of the background information supplied by
the paper, but perhaps someone else can comment on French naming law.
