Ouen and Dorcas and ??

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

We're told Ouen is 42 and the boatman had been lookign for Dorcas for 40 
years. 2 years is too small a margin to draw any conclusions. He doesn't 
even say he started looking for her corpse right away.
