Talk:Grand

Notes

The following details, with only an external link, did not seem appropriate for the dab page. I can't tell whether this family is notable enough to start a stub page for. older ≠ wiser 17:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Grand family of Vernamiège (Switzerland) is quoted since 1255. Branches of the family were established in Nax in 1697 and 1788; branches of Nax were then aggregate in Bramois in the XIXe century and Grône in 1900; the family of Bramois became middle-class of Sion by the union of the two communes in 1968. Vernamiège, Nax, Bramois and Grône are towns from the state of Valais in Switzerland.

I believe the bottom item in the list of things Grand my refer to is wrong. It claims a grand is a slang term for one hundred units of a given currency. It is infact one thousand units. Not sure the etiquette for changing this - this is my first WP edit. Knolleary 11:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Knolleary is right. A 'grand' in the UK is £1000, not £100. Fixed. The disambiguation page for Ton is correct (100). Rooreynolds 20:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
