Big fan of this family of talented creative artist, musicians and writers  from the time of the French revolution, Fanny married and an escapee from there. She inspired one of my favorite authors Jane Austin's books. James traveled with captain cook on his second and 3rd expeditions and wrote about them. James was the last person other than the Hawaiians who took Cook prisoner to see Captain Cook alive.

Dr Charles Burney was their father he like my father edited his daughter Fanny's books Dr Burney was a composer and musicologist. I am to the Burney's a proud relative and mini fan club.
