Thank you for all the thoughtful replies. It would
seem I have reopened a can of worms. In pondering the
replies posted on this question, it seems like a
dissertation on such a topic might not be feasible
because of the subjectiveness involved.

Greg, as for the family tree, it is on my to do list.
My intention is to assemble a family tree for each of
the prominent teachers. It would be interesting to
see if, as you have mentioned, the second generation
after Bonade, have their own significant influence.
Does anybody have suggestions on the structure of the
tree and how far down I should go?

Thanks again for all your replies... Isabelle
