Subject: Re: [Taxacom] Help with a locality

*For what is worth when I searched for "Mlle, France" on Google Earth I
got:*

Mlle Fanny - Boutique et Atelier de Création sur - mesure de robes
de mariée et de soirée
"Miss Fanny - Boutique and Creation workshop customized for wedding and
evening dresses"
32 Rue Edmond Faultat 33440
Ambares, France

W. 0° 29' 6", N. 44° 55' 3"


Could Mlle stand for "Miss" or "Ms"?
