I'm doing a small progect on Comte de Rochambeau, and every time I search on him I get a name way longer, with his name in it. To be specific, i get Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau. Is that his full name? Should I search for information using this full name? Will I obtain more results that way, because using Comte de Rochambeau doesnt help me get anything. THANKS!
well i'm giving you advice for in the future, when you have a question that would take about 5 seconds to find out, it would be more time efficient to try it for yourself instead of waiting HOURS on advicenators. just giving you some intelligent advice.

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is probably the best reference I found online, you would probably do better hitting the libraries or jstor rather than the internet though.
But anyways, yeah , you'll probably find more looking for "Comte de Rochambeau" or simply "Rochambeau" than "Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur". [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
theymos answered Monday November 27 2006, 4:54 pm: that's his full name. I think(though I've never taken French or anything) comte de rochambeau means count of rochambeau(a city or something). You should try searching both ways. Wikipedia has a nice article, though It's not a scholarly source, and you can't use it on a really formal report: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
